i think there hard to find everyware, we had great sucess with them last year, realy tasty short bush like and covered in masses of tomatoes.
i ment to keep some seeds from them, but got bogged down with work come seasons end and didn't manage a seed run.

just wanted to wish you good luck with finding them, and thanx for the names of some other variaties.
i believe ours were tiny tim, so the other 2 will be a nice addition to the garden, which is getting bigger and bigger each year.

im hopeing to find the time to plant other crops rather then summer ones, i aim to be earting from the garden every meal, we have 7 1/2 acers, so theres no excuse when it comes to space.
good luck

do you keep seeds from the last crop to grow the following year, or just rely on new seeds each year?

also, have you noticed any drop in germination rates with any of the veg you grew last year from new seed packs? weve been very disapointed wirth germination rates, were usualy very lucky with seed germination rates, but last year was verry bad, just interested to know if it was uk seed or it was happening anyware else.
we have had great sucsess with 15yr old seed that weve kept, bdetter germination rates then with fresh seed as mentioned

I found a yellow cherry growing at the town compost dump years ago that was super sweet and hardy.
It germed itself for at least 5 seasons without any help from me. Whoever owns that house now may still have it going.

toms dont usualy grow true to the original tom plant, but we werte lucky enough to get a stray plant (i say one, itg was the only one we left, we compost so get toms comming up yearf after year that weve composted or have just died and rotted down into the soil)
but what ever it was from the lineage of the original tom, was amazsing, they were deeply lobed fruit and delicious. were going to see what comes up this year that wasn't sown by us to see what stock toms we get, im going to try crossing some to see what happens.
ive just been given spare freshly cleared land to put my own polly tunnel up, so im going to have a space for all my plants, no electricity bill, woo hoo. just fresh organic bud . its about 50 x 50 feet, so a nice size tunnel too. cant wait

"micro-dwarf", never knew they existed but as a possessor of a micro-penis, I should have known ;) But seriously folks... the only cherry tomato I've grown and liked was Sweet Million. Didn't seem to crack as easily as some of the other varieties. Good luck in your search!

i just found some orange hat on that rareseeds website still looking for the other ones i may settle for some tiny tom i may be able to find that in town where i live its interesting to try new varieties i usually hafta go after ones that finish early due to my latitude i live very far north. i have tried the bumblebee ones before my mother grew some the one year they were great in a salad i didnt have much luck i really wanted to get some from these guys but every one i click on is sold out https://renaissancefarms.org/product-category/tomato-categories/micro-dwarf-tomatoes/ however i sent them a nice email asking which ones they would recommend that they still have in stock hopefully they respond

I plant campari tomatoes in 3 gallon pots and get early harvest that regenerate more than once if you play with fertilizer formulas to produce multiple harvest
Fast and sweet fruits are about twice the size as a golf ball
Cheap trick without actually buying seeds
I buy a pack of Compari tomatoes at meijers
Cut up a few and dry them on a shelf
Eat the rest
The ones you buy dont taste quite as good but are still ill good

tomatoes also clone great if ya get an early start indoors

@Herb & Suds

what climate zone are you in though? i hafta be careful what i grow due to my northern latitude im in zone 2a, normally all my tomatoes, peppers, hot peppers finish in my greenhouse. for example many fruit trees cant grow this far north with the exception of some new varieties. about a decade ago i came across this place that specializes is creating/grafting fruit trees that are able to grow in this climate ive been trying 3 new varieties of apple trees that grow this far north. ive only had one bear fruit so far tasted like honey crisp i got about 50 good sized apples off it last summer the neighbours were surprised to see a tree with full sized apples on it lol

Cherokee purples are my favorite also! I also try to plant at least one Arkansas traveler, they set well thru the mid-south heat.
