Micro-Tina Dwarf Space Tomato Seeds(6 Seeds)

6/30/60+ Organically Grown Seeds mdash; Micro-TinaAlso known as the Dwarf Space Tomato, Micro-Tina was bred specifically for research aboard the International Space Station. A cross between Micro-Tom times; Sugar, this variety is slightly larger and notably sweeter than Micro-Tom. It was developed to study plant growth in space and has since become a fascinating piece of horticultural history.Unfortunately, Micro-Tina (and its sister Micro-Gemma) were originally restricted for release only to teachers as part of classroom science projectsmdash;at a steep price of $20 per packet. Believing that seed should never be restricted, we obtained and grew it ourselves so gardeners everywhere can now enjoy this once ldquo;captiverdquo; space variety.While Micro-Tina isnrsquo;t the best-tasting micro wersquo;ve grownmdash;its skin is a bit thick and flavor mildmdash;its significance as part of the space program makes it a must-have for collectors, educators, and curious gardeners. Perfect for small containers or windowsill growing.DeterminateRugose Regular LeafEarlyndash;Mid Season
