Cane, I could look for leftover seeds from......Heck, I can take new seeds from the tomatoes in the photo iff'n you want to try growing Spoon tomatoes.

These are past their growing prime, but what you see is the biggest they get. A burst of good tomato flavor with each berry, but the skin is what I remember most. Perhaps in a salad the skin wouldn't stand out as it does when eaten alone.

Good Grief ...

Coyote may not be a currant tomato, after all. I doubt if I can get more than 4 in a teaspoon.

I see Tatiana describes them as a cherry.

Well now @Smart Red those might be worth growing one pot of on the back porch for fresh salad fixing. If you save some seed I would take a FEW. Thanks

Wow, diet tomatoes!

@canesisters , have you seen the salads in mason jars? You put the dressing in the bottom of the jar, along with beans, chopped onion or peppers, -something that won't get soggy. Then you add a layer of tomatoes, cukes, whatever you want, but wettest items go in first. Top the jar off with all your dry greens. At lunchtime, give the jar a shake and eat! It works best with a wide-mouth jar, but is an easy way to enjoy salad on-the-go.

Done! They would actually work well as hanging tomatoes. They quickly grew long and leggy. With the small fruit comes smaller (than I am used to) stems that really wanted to hang out.
