Have you grown Kotlas tomatoes? What is your opinion on them? I would like to try a few in large containers (that is if I can get a few seeds.) I am very limited in space and in Zone 7.
I have heard they are are a mix of acidic and sweetness which I like, the old fashioned taste.

I only tried it 1 season and per my notes "very early, small fruited determinate. Nothing special flavor-wise and prefer Matina flavor. Good cold tolerance". Of course taste is a very personal thing.

Discussion linked below has some additional comments on it you can read through if interested.

I have grown them and prefer them to most other early varieties. Small, smooth, good flavor, early, red, potato leaf. I liked it better than varieties such as 4th of July, Early Wonder, Early Girl (obviously), and even Stupice

If space limitation and wanting early fruits, I am with you iin the same boat. I have already bought seeds for the following:

Bloody Butcher
Bush Beefsteak
Matina
Early Treat
Legend
Siberia
Silets

I bough the seeds from the big box stores. They have indicated DTM of 50 to 70.
There are DET or small INDET. and are very suitable for container growing. I will plant some in containers myself.
