Outcropped the other tomatoes
By Peter Humphrey 28-08-2011
I have never been a champion of cherry tomatoes.These yellow and red tumbling toms have not stopped producing fruit since June. Three plants to large pots and have watered and fed them and the yellow toms have just finished cropping (a few strays) the red ones are still going strong at the end of August. No blight, no side shooting, in fact for small plants they are truly amazing. A dead cert for next year
