Tiny tomatoes

[jackb]

heh, add it to my collection of tomato seeds! i have waaay to many but this is such a different type and seems compact. how well does it tolerate cooler temps?

I have only grown them indoors, so I don't know how they would tolerate cool temperatures. In my opinion they are more of a novelty than a serious food plant.

I have, and to me it was kind of tart, however, I am not sure it was completely ripe.

I found that they taste much better if you let them fully ripen to bright red before you eat them. Five little tomatoes were used for seed savings, but as you might expect they did not yield a lot of seeds. The seeds will be allowed to ferment a few days before being cleaned, dried and placed into cold storage.

I remember being out in the garden last summer searching for the first big ripe tomatoes with my boys. The oldest bent over, yelled "I found one", and came up with the juicy tomato dripping down his chin. I really thought it was an unspoken rule that Grandma got the first one. Still that picture in my head brings me great joy.

Smart Red may have seeds available in a few months, she is doing a test grow that I hope turns out well.
