It is impossible for me to pass the plant without eating some of the ripe fruits.<br \/>\nThe history is rather convoluted. First, there was confusion about this being a hybrid versus an open pollinated versus heirloom variety. The (original?) vendor has the seeds listed as an heirloom, but also sells the plants, under the same name, as a hybrid \u201cmicro.\u201d Hundreds and Thousands is definitely not a micro-dwarf. The story I&#039;ve found tells that this vendor found an heirloom tomato known as \u201cCheriette of Fire\u201d in the Gartensleben genebank, then renamed it, possibly to promote sales.<br \/>\nAt any rate, it is a great variety for the hanging basket or pot upon a TALL stand. Hundreds and Thousands does not do well with hot and humid conditions. The first time I grew it, the total number of fruits set was around four. This spring I started the seeds much earlier, then grew the plant in partial shade with a water pan under it. Fruit production under these conditions was impressive. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1773,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[8,35,42,12],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1772","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-red-tomatoes","7":"product_cat-cherry-grape","8":"product_cat-basket-tomatoes","9":"product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","11":"first","12":"outofstock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1772"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1772"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
