The Sweet Pea Tomatoes were the most tiny tomatoes I have seen in my life and I grow them this year in my plot because I wanted to save the seeds of this heirloom tomato variety.
These tomatoes are not cherry tomatoes, they are smaller than cherry tomatoes, they are like peas and I have seen peas bigger than this tomato.
This year we had many rains in June,no rain in July and 2-3 days with rainstorm in August. So my tomato plants in plot lived without watering from me. July it was a bad month for the plants and 3-4 tomato plants died but with many ripen tomatoes in their stems.
Usually I can go in my plot once a month and I stay there 4-5 days but in August I was there for 12 days. Everyday I had fresh tomatoes for my lunch and dinner so I feel happy.
Ok it’s official! I just found the first baby-tomato of the year and I have a big smile in my face.
The winner tomato plant is the heirloom variety “Bloody Red Butcher” and I grow it in a big container in my balcony.
Did someone from Europe grew this tomato variety?
Did someone can send or sell me some seeds?
This variety is importand for me because it has the name of my city. Maybe some old people grew it here now, but they don’t know about varieties so it’s difficult for me to find this variety in Greece.
If you know where I can find some seeds for the next year please leave a comment.
I lost 2 small tomato plants this week because the sun is too hot. The problem is that I have only one tomato variety now. I had 5 Cream Sausage plants and 1 Yellow Pear. Now I have only 4 cream Sausage tomato plants in my container garden.
I search for sun protection for the other plants, and I start using big leaves from a poplar tree to make shade the hot hours after 12 a.m. The sun is so hot that burn the big poplar leaves in 2-3 hours.
Three days before, 4 Yellow Pear seeds sowed again. Maybe I ‘m crazy but I read that Yellow Pear feels good with cold weather. The autumn here is like summer in other countries the last years. So, I can experiment and see the results…
