These tomatoes are delicious, but they're too darned
small. We'll have pasta with these but cherry tomatoes
are much more useful.

They look good. My neighbor came over last night and gave us about
that many in a bag. Her now retired father planted a garden. In just
one day they picked 1500 of them.

Yes, they do look a bit smaller than normal cherry tomatoes.
I'm planning/hoping for a large crop of tomatoes this year to mostly
make into sauce. Need to settle on a few good varieties now.

Do you start from seeds? I do enjoy rushing spring by deciding
what to grow and starting the plants.

I didn't start these tiny tomatoes, though. A rabbit ruined
transplants and I had to buy plants from a nursery. I really
thought these were regular sized cherry tomatoes.

Yikes! I only have the one small tomato plant and it takes as
long or longer to pick the ripe ones that the three other
plants I have growing the large ones.

A friend has those growing wild up on his Hectare block of land. An
almost continual crop.

Yep, I just buy seeds and go from there. I'll grow plenty of capsicums
this year as well.

I've spent much of the past two weeks working on my veggie garden. I
have good soil here, albeit high in clay. This year I really wanted to
sort that out, once and for all. Had truckloads of screened cow poo
delivered, plus tons of sheep and poultry manure, mushroom compost,
seaweed, normal compost, sawdust, straw... you name it - it got some.
Plus fertilisers, and lime of course.

I know I've had mislabeled plants from nurseries before, it looks like
that's what happened to you too.

Cherry tomatoes are one of my favorite ferments.

They get a little fizzy and can be made with any herbs/spices you
like.
