75 days. Hybrid. Determinate
A really tasty, well behaved, small red cherry tomato that puts out tomatoes like there's no tomorrow. Always have great germination with this one.
2023: Seed. 3 plants. 2 are in pots, 1 in SW corner strip.
2022: Seed. Got a way late start this year and these were a second try on top of that. I planted them up in pots anyway and we put them on the west porch. We soon realized that they don't get enough sun there because they have to be back up against the wall and the porch roof shades them too much. Greg moved them out into the circle part of the Z5 garden and I guess we'll just hope the deer aren't bold enough to get them there. I might move them to the herb garden because I've had tomatoes there before with no problem. That is, if the mosquitoes ever die off to the point where I can go outside and work long enough to get anything done without being completely miserable. The deer left them alone, but they were shaded by the tall plants behind them and didn't do that well. We did pick a lot of tomatoes off of them though, and they were tasty, just smaller than usual.
2021: Seed. I planted 2 in pots for the porch because they taste better than any other determinate cherries we've tried. Also 1 in the garden because they always taste a little better down there for some reason. They're putting out like crazy since June.
August: They've been putting out really well all summer, but we have a chipmunk that's eating all the ripe cherry tomatoes in both the garden and the pots. We tried to catch him with a live trap, but he's too small and can escape. Luckily, he must have heard us talking about his possible fate and decided to move on.
2020: 2 plants from seed. 1 in a pot, 1 in the garden. The one in the garden always tastes a little better for some reason. Both grew well and produced well. Excellent as always.
2019: from seed. 2 plants - 1 in a pot, 1 in the garden. Both look compact and healthy.
2018: From seed. These outdid themselves on the back porch this year until the coyotes knocked them out into the yard in the process of killing Mo while he was sleeping in the chair.
2017: Perfect in a pot.
2016: Did well, very good.
