Jim, I've been starin' at three big Hot Cherries for days now...I wish they'd start to turn red! I think I'll probably be growin' these again next year, too. Thanks again, man! Redshirt, I got most of my hot seeds from the good folks here. Bill hooked me up with three kinds of hot, Jim hooked me up with the Hot Cherries for the Cherry Bombs, and another fellow, Zander, traded me some Trinidad Scorpion seeds. One of my buddies shared his Chocolate Hab seeds with me last year, and so I'm growing from my own seed stock now. He also gave me a Black Pearl this year, as well as the seed for a Naga Morich from Neil at the Hippy Seed Company. Stick around, and I'm sure you'll score some seeds ;-) Josh

Hi Silvia, so glad you found your way back :-) My mouth always gets watery and could devour most all of your posted pics! Looks like you captured the Sun's Gold for a real Sweet Treat in a celestial blue pleated plate! ;-) I'll have to raid my Santas so the grape can make it's last stand for a respectable picture to keep up with you for the moment ;-). The only nice thing about this cold here is that if the tomatoes are kept above freezing, they can last so long on the plants ... they don't have top be picked every day as long as they are protected from birds and squirrels (!!!) I bet your transplants are quite big by now, and that's a nice cherry tomato trick to have some munching maters to fill in the gap. I'd like to do that but everything is tied up and intertwined, and since I'm also working with seedlings each day. I'm afraid to clean up little by little with the mold spores that will go flying in my hair and clothes if I try to separate the plants. Suddenly I'm hungry! Cheer! PC

I don't get a box that says "location" with a right click. I tried properties and got a URL, but only got the above. I have Windows 8, of course, the invention of the devil. If I click Image, I get this...

"Elfin sounds interesting. Would this be a candidate for a 3 gallon pot?" Probably, although I have yet to try that. Because Elfin is determinate, it wouldn't waste energy (and nutrients) in endless foliage. The leaves are actually somewhat open, compared to most tomatoes I've grown... it seems to use the large clusters of green fruit as leaves? A good tomato for pot culture would be a currant tomato... the pot limits its otherwise rampant growth. Most of the currant tomatoes I tried had issues; the red ones cracked, the yellow ones dropped excessively when ripe. A yellow variety from Sample Seeds (Solanum spontaneum) does neither. Tiny 1/3-1/2" yellow fruit in numerous trusses of 10 or so. Seeds so tiny you won't know they are there. The ripe tomatoes keep for a very long time (at least several weeks) if picked with the stem attached; some will even dry. Not too sweet eaten out of hand, but pleasant, and good in salads. You'll get plenty out of one pot. Be warned, though - DON'T try growing that currant tomato in the ground, unless you want a 6-8' heavily branched monster, with literally thousands of tomatoes!!! I gave a friend one plant, which she planted next to her fence... it grew to be 3' wide, and climbed up & over the 6' fence into the neighbor's yard. She eventually got tired of picking them all.
