Most "Currant" tomatoes are tiny... sometimes tomatoes of all sizes can set small... if they are dry.. :)

Must admit I thought it was a 10p piece at first. Do you know what variety they are?
The toms on my Micro Gemma's are really quite small.

Ive finally found the plant label for my tinie tiny toms :) They are supersweet 100.  Ive got loads of them starting to ripen now :)

Have any of you guys ever grown "totumn" tom's??  They are a dwarf varitie that apparently dnt need to be pinched out & can just be left to grow.  The plant that im growing has LOADS of fruit on it but they just dnt seem to be ripening, has any1 else had any experiance with this plant??

Also 1 last question, my brother in law has been bitten by the growing bug, he is like a big kid with a new toy.  A friend of his told him to take off the leaves of the plant as it grows.  Appart from it making the tomato plant look a bit odd with just its trusses & top 3 or 4 leaves does it benifit the crop??

I think it is done so sunlight can get to lower older toms to help them ripen :-\

Do you mean Totem.. it grows to about 20 inches tops and is determinate so no pruning. It should take about 70 days from transpanting to maturity.

Corrected the height above,,sorry my typing is bad


Tell him not to overdo the leaf cutting.
