This was the day's tomato harvest, next to a penny for size comparison.
The larger one is close to full sized, but I've never seen any as small as the other two. I suspect their size has something to do with the heat and lack of water this summer. However, when I ate those tiny fruits, their flavor was incredible! The tomato-y sweetness was condensed into the much smaller package, almost like it had been dehydrated.
I wonder if there will be any more tiny tomato prizes waiting for me in the garden tomorrow?
aw...they really are cute!
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteOk...I was on Betsy's blog...and have to come & see the cute tomatoes. They are cute...even better that they taste good. 8~)
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Nancy
BTW... I posted about tomatoes on my blog today too. 8~)
Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteSince you, me, and Betsy all wrote about tomatoes today we should have a tomato party! You'll have to bring your own, though, because I don't think I have enough for three people.
I don't have the cute little tomatoes(yet). Mine are the midsized. And,yes, we should have a tomato party! 8~)
DeleteAfter the rain everything seems to be ripening at once. I found some tiny tomatoes, too, but yours win as the tiniest!
ReplyDeleteThings are ripening, and the grass is growing! Hubby cut on Monday, and it needs to be done again.
Deletecan't believe how small they are!
ReplyDeleteSmall but mighty!
DeleteTomatoes?! Wow! When I first looked at the photo, I thought they were berries!! Cute!
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that there really ARE tomatoes (called red currant) that always grow this small, but I've never seen them around here.
DeleteI've heard that in a drought situation, this is exactly what happens. The fruit is smaller and the sugar in them is more concentrated. Lucky you! I'm so glad you're getting cooler weather.
ReplyDeleteI'M glad the weather is cooling off, too! Autumn in St. Louis is glorious.
