So productive! This is my second summer planting this tomato and it is such a great variety. After some rough summer hail storms, my other tomatoes struggled to bounce back but this one thrived!

My new favorite cherry tomato, it’s so sweet and prolific you’ll be drowning in them by the end of the season. They germinated well and I ended up planting 4 plants in my garden this year, which was enough to feed me, my family of 3, and 4 of my close friends, with plenty left over for the squirrels and chipmunks! I think I’ll plant 2 next year but you never know 😂

Second time purchasing the cherry tomatoes. I had an abundance last time and hoping as good a crop this time around.
