These are pearl drops and red rambling stripe tomatoes. I can't really take credit for these as I bought them in hanging baskets. The hanging baskets were on sale for $4. For that I got the hanging basket with 4 tomato plants in each. They are producing quite well, not real remarkable in the flavor department (especially the yellow ones but I tend to find yellow tomatoes a bit tasteless), but I really like how well they have put up with my sporadic watering (in other words, they can wilt and still survive). I will have to look up a seed source for these next year so I can start my own instead of buying them. I have tried several other varieties in hanging baskets before and all have produced but none quite this well.
The tomatoes in the garden are doing quite well too. If I can just keep whatever is eating them off of them. Right now my plant eater has moved on to the bell peppers, sigh.
I'm going to disagree with you on the "yellow tomatoes are less tasty" statement, Becky. One of the varieties I grew last year was the orangey-yellow "Sungella", and it was fabulous. Great looks and great flavour too.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to look into getting seeds for that one Mark. I do love different color tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteA hanging basket bargain. I've never tried a yellow tomato, but I am a huge fan of the green ones so I might have to give them a go!
ReplyDeleteWell, I have never tried a green one, lol, I haven't tried the purple ones either. I don't know why, something about them just make my mind think they won't taste good. I'll have try one sometime and prove myself wrong.
