Love the flavour of these small cherry types. Have you tried Sungold? I eat them straight from the vine, like Smarties, (that's a UK child's sweet)

Thanks, I have grown Sungold in the past and would harvest them by the bucketful. These are very good, but not as bountiful as Sungold. In grade school, I would often bring a bag of smarties to school with me, and hand them out to all the pretty girls.

Lovely eating the smaller tomatoes Paul, we grow a small yellow one that seems to be doing well at the moment.

Ah yes, Smarties! "don't eat the red ones"...(Peggy-Sue Blodell)
My interest in cherry tomatoes goes back a long way to Sweet Onehundred... and later to Sweet Million. Prolific and squirty, and great snacking!

Hi Linda - The cherry/grape tomatoes are always the first to ripen and seem to outlast the others. They get even more delicious and abundant as they mature - just before the first frost takes them out.

Lori - I didn't know about the red ones! whew!

lol.. sorry BG.. couldn't resist the smarties reference. and it's Peggy-Sue Bodell..Peggy is telling her little sister not to eat the red ones because of red dye number 2?... funny how my old brain remembers some things but forgets some of the details.. Who was the saddist who coined "the golden years"...lol? One thing I do remember about cherry tomatoes: If there's rain in your forecast be sure to pic any ripe ones... that was my biggest problem..it would rain and the cherry toms would split.

yeh I hate when that happens, esp when you hundreds to pick.

I've been making a sort of ratatouille with my tomatoes, courgettes and spring onions chopped. I fry them together in butter then add a tin of plum tomatoes as well. We've had so many spring onions Paul, that I've been using them chopped up in casseroles as well. It's a Linda thing, I just fling everything together.

sure sounds good to me!
