The Micros Are Kicking In

GoDawgs · May 18, 2020

I'm really happy with these three Whippersnapper and one Red Robin microdwarf tomatoes. I had them on a table in full sun but they weren't really happy so I put them on the front porch on a table along the railing. They get morning sun until about noon and are doing really well. I've been using the electric toothbrush trick on the flowers in case the pollinators miss them where they are.

Two of the three Whippersnappers:

The third one, which seems to be a tad more upright than the other two sprawlers.

I just picked more from these three plus the Red Robin. They're now getting ripe steadily and making just what we need. Pickles has been putting them in one of the cherry tomato clam shells that the bought cherries came in as it seems to keep them well. Over two days it looks like we have $1.79 worth as that's what we've been paying.

Any suggestions as to other varieties I might should try? These are great to fill in the early gap until the regular cherrys get ready and it gives me something to play with during the winter.
