Poor germination rate. The seed seller (Baker Creek) packed extra seeds due to poor germination rate in their test of seeds for 2019, and...Read More poor germination might have been a fluke limited to this specific year's batch of seed. Reviews on their site by gardeners seem to say "great germination", but my experience was that I got only 6 plants from a packet of about 40 seeds. I had 90-95% germination rates of tomato seeds in the adjacent cells, so I doubt the problem was due to my technique. I am looking forward to the fruit of Dad's Sunset, as I understand it's supposed to be a very tasty variety.

Good companion tomato for platters.
Firm and meaty with a thick, full flavor and just a hint of sweetness. A definite keeper.
Dad's Sunset tends to be a late variety. Most folks that have grown it report 90-100 days to maturity. Good keeper, oval 2-2.5" orange fruit.
