Rob says: Solanum pimpernelifolium produces tiny fruits, hence the name. Its a different species from your common garden tomato & its hardly changed since it was found growing wild on a Peruvian beach in 1707. The plants are very disease resistant, & can tolerate cooler temperatures. Each tiny tomato is crisp, & has a really intense, sweet/tart flavour. Good in salads, or straight from the plant. These tomatoes will reward you with fruit every day. Grow them as you would any cordon tomato & pinch out the side shoots (you can leave a few side shoots if you forget). They may be confused as they were found growing on a beach on the floor, but that's because they were wild. To get the best from the plants when they are trained up a cane, they will grow to around 1.5-2m in a greenhouse. ...

A fantastic tomato variety! Ideal for patios & balconies British bred, taking 15 years breeding to perfect, this is an incredibly productive little plant (up to 75 fruit per plant). Bred by the man who created ' Red Alert' & ' Tumbler'. Very early (mid-July) ripening. Sweet, cherry-sized fruits that were very popular in taste tests. Some blight resistance & resistance to fusarium & verticillium. 12–16g fruit. Loved by Carol Klein at RHS Hampton Court Flower Show 2019. Finally a great tasting, compact, bush tomato with flavour! Ideal for patios, balconies & anywhere else too small for a regular tomato. Can even be grown in pots as small as 11cm wide. No staking or support required, just water & harvest. Good resistance to Fusarium, Verticillium & some resistance to late blight. Bush Variety. Harvest mid-July– October. Height 21–30cm (8–12); spread 31–40cm (12–16). Tomato Care Once flowers begin to appear, the plants should be fed with a liquid tomato fertiliser at the recommended rate weekly. The growing point should be removed when five or six trusses have formed, as this will encourage the fruits to swell more rapidly & mature more quickly. Keep the plants well-watered, especially when the fruits have started to set. Wide fluctuations in moisture supply may lead to irregular fruit growth, cracking of the skin, & dropping of the fruits. Veranda Red is special because dwarf tomatoes are notoriously lacking in flavour & not that nice tasting, whereas Veranda Red has the flavour of a vine tomato you would grow in your greenhouse, BUT on a small plant. It's taken 15 years to breed the enhanced flavour into this small size & it's from the breeder of Tumbler, Honeycomb & the Crimson family (hence why it's also late blight resistant). I personally think it's a cracking new variety & Nick has been working with Simon & growing it for the last year or two as well. Basically it's all about bringing the flavour of greenhouse cordon tomatoes into a small, easy to care for plant without the hassle of training the plant or needing a greenhouse. ...

Tomato Seeds - Ruby Falls

Rob says: I found these tomatoes at a specialist tomato breeder last year and was totally amazed by them. The plants produce dense columns of crinkled and curled leaves which are slimmer and more compact than regular tomato plants, meaning you can get more plants closer together, perfect for a smaller greenhouse. The plants are very productive, producing large, cherry-sized fruit which are deep red in colour, with green striping which fades as the fruit ripens. Each truss is held away from the plants and it makes picking exceptionally easy. The fruit has a sweet, rich flavour which makes you want more. In fact, out of a greenhouse full of varieties, this was the one I kept going back to and eating. Harvest July-early October. Height 150-200cm (59-79); spread 30-40cm (12-16).
