I hope you don't mind seeing a green tomato, V.
This is the fruit on one of my Gold Dust plants:
I think there are 4 plants and they all look something like this: small with quite heavy clusters! I hope the fruit turns out good. Tatiana has this information on it: "Characteristics: determinate very compact and open, 160-165 g, globe shape, smooth, crack free, deep tangerine ripe color, uniform green unripe, small core, no blotch, very firm, large yield, quite early." She also says the fruit size is "small" but 160 grams is over 5 ounces so it is Early Girl size. "Growth habit semi-det., det." Okay, I am hoping for "semi-det" because an early determinate is likely to up and die on me after a harvest. I find that sort of thing, disconcerting!
I've got another variety that is sometimes considered a "semi-det." - Bussion. I like the way it grows. It produces all season and does very well for a little plant.

that picture may still be too big but I've asked Photobucket to shrink it down by about half.
