I transplanted them into a sq ft garden plot, only allowing a 1x1 ft sq space per plant, which may have been more than adequate given their very compact nature. These plants (we planted 20 varieties) were one of the first to mature. Their very dark green, compact, and bushy foliage actually hid the tomatoes themselves.

Most of my other plants were killed, but the Lime Green looked as though nothing had happened. The flowers were still blooming on it, and it is continuing to produce fruits, even after it dipped down to 25F last week. Really, an amazing plant. No pests bothered it, no disease issues, nothing. However, I think in the future I will put it in a container and not waste the ground space, when there are other plants that need it. This little one will do fine without it.
