Tiny tomatoes

[Jared77]

This plant had tiny flowers that did not open completely to expose the stigma, so the brush was crucial.

Was what I was referring to. Without your help it sounds like you wouldn't get many tomatoes. A tomato plant that doesn't produce much isn't going to be overly popular.

Ava has been watching the progress of the plant and she said she would like to eat the first tomato. She is coming for dinner this evening, so I am posting the photo before it is history. All in all it has been an interesting project, however, it seems to me that the variety is fine for something like a cure for cabin fever during the winter, but a lot of plants would be needed to make it worth planting them in a garden.

are there a decent amount of seeds in each tomato? you planning on saving a few seeds from them?

The tomatoes are really small, so they have probably less than ten seeds per fruit. Yes, I am going to save some seeds, as this variety has apparently become rather scarce.

Ahem, ahem. I can think of a few ways you can insure this variety becomes less than rather scarce, right Chickie'smoma?

Let's see how the seed collecting goes first.

.....And, of course, Ava gets first chance.

Cela va sans dire.
