My first tomato harvest with the tinies up first! Believe it or not, there are five varieties in this little bowl: Yellow Pear (looks like its name) Sungold (larger dark yellow) White Currant (tiny pale yellow) Husky Cherry (larger red) Matt’s Wild Cherry (smaller red) 🌱

Things are coming along for me I'm a bit jealous I've only harvested a few at a time Soon, I will be feeding the neighbors tomatoes Rt now I'm pushing bush beans.. Are you sure you don't want some?

Tomatoes grown on the vine at home are so much better than the ones at the grocery store that taste like wood.

All are beloved favorites that I have grown in previous years except for the new-to-me Matt’s Wild Cherry (which will join them because I am certain I will grow them next year)

The Yellow Pear is a nostalgic favorite from childhood but I have to admit that if I were to choose only one of the five, I would take the White Currant. So prolific, cute and sweet as candy!

I’ll do a proper comparison and taste test once my nose is healed but in the meantime: Sweetest: White Currant Least Acidic: Yellow Pear Sharpest: Matt’s Wild Cherry

I find that the Matt’s Wild are challenging to harvest individually. Easier to cut a full stem when several start to ripen.

Yes, the currant-size varieties are fussy to harvest. I enjoy doing it personally but I definitely understand not wanting to deal with it

I grow lots of varieties as well. The Matt’s Wild went feral on me — wild, you might say! They’re the only ones I snip off with the fruit still on the stem.

Yeah, they are fab for containers because I can keep an eye on them, I'm glad I didn't plant them in the beds!
