Tiny Tim Micro Dwarf Tomato Seeds – 30 Heirloom Cherry Tomato Seeds for Planting
Tiny Tim is a micro dwarf tomato variety that stays compact while producing clusters of small, bright red cherry tomatoes. Its petite size makes it an excellent choice for container gardening, windowsills, patios, and small-space gardens where full-size tomato plants are not practical. This heirloom variety is determinate and requires no staking, making it a favorite for beginner gardeners and urban growers.
Despite its small stature, Tiny Tim is a productive plant that sets fruit early and continues to ripen over a concentrated period. The bite-sized tomatoes have a classic sweet-tart tomato flavor and are perfect for fresh snacking, salads, and garnishes. With 30 seeds, you can start multiple plants for a succession of harvests or share with friends.

Planting & Care
Sow Tiny Tim seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist but not waterlogged; light aids germination. Maintain a warm temperature around 75°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into individual pots or the garden after danger of frost has passed. Provide full sun and consistent moisture. Fertilize every 2–3 weeks with a balanced tomato fertilizer. Because plants are determinate and compact, no pruning is necessary, but you can remove suckers to encourage larger fruit. Harvest tomatoes when they are fully red and slightly soft to the touch.
