This is a Russian variety, so far as I know, but it took everything my garden could throw at it\u2026heat, humidity, insects\u2026and just kept making tomatoes. This is described as being a 2 foot tall determinate, but I found it to be more of 2.5 to 3 feet tall grown in an Earth Box with happy soil and nutrients.<br \/>\nLadybug\u2019s fruits are shiny fire-engine red, elongated cherries. I suppose one could think of them as cute ladybugs. The flavor is strong, and there is more juice and gel than flesh. Because of this, I did best enjoy slices of Ladybug on top of a Triscuit (black pepper and sea salt flavor) with a spoon of homemade blue cheese dip (lots of blue cheese, touch of sugar, coarsely ground black pepper, cream cheese, bit of whipping cream\u2026not especially heart healthy, but so delicious).<br \/>\nIf you are a person with plenty of experience in planting tomatoes and getting a very scanty harvest, you might want to try Ladybug to bring about a sea-change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5744,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[8,35,40,58,12],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5743","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-heat-set-tomatoes","9":"product_cat-compact-varieties","10":"product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/5743","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\/5744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=5743"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=5743"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=5743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
