Tomato, Dark Orange Muscat (Organic)
Solanum lycopersicum. Orange Cherry. 65-75 days. Indet.
Tall vines produce unique, dark orange cherry tomatoes with bronze shoulders and some green inside. Sweet, fruity flavor. Very productive. Medium sized fruit fills pints quickly. This variety has traveled across the pond at least twice: Madeline McKeever of Brown Envelope Seeds in Ireland received this seed from a seed saver in Washington State while at an Organic Seed Alliance conference; and while we were in Ireland, we picked it up from her and brought it back to the Pacific Northwest.
Sow indoors in flats with good potting soil as early as February, but no later than April. Keep warm and well-watered. Up pot seedlings into 4” pots once they have two true leaves. Transplant into the garden once danger of frost has passed.
Seed Saving
Collect seeds from ripe fruit by squeezing into a jar and add 25% more water. Wait a few days for mold to form. When seeds sink and gel-sac is gone, stir, add water, then decant and rinse to clean. Dry thoroughly. Tomatoes are mostly self-pollinating; isolation is not usually needed for seeds to be true to type.

Where did you grow this variety? Oregon
This is one of my favorite cherry tomatoes, ever. The flavor is so sweet and nice that they rarely make it back to the house. Gorgeous color too, and strong, vigorous plants. Splendid!
