Can anyone tell me what kind of tomato these are, it didn't have an id. tag when I bought it. They are very sweet - almost want to eat them for desert. So far it has been very prolific, more than the regular cherry tomatoes.

Like  Ness and Seth, I really like the Cheorkee purples. However, none were found this year and we did not start any tomatoes from seed :(.

If all else fails, you can get the plants from Burpee.com.

Looks similar to the black cherry variety that we planted. They are delicious!

I've had a similar situation as bittlethead, a few little bunnies under my pineapple sage bush. The dog should be running them off any time now. Peppers have been doing really well for the past month. Brandywine and Cherokee Purple doing pretty good, but on the slow side. Kale and Chard growing like weeds. If these temps start to drop soon I may start getting ready for round two with lettuce, spinach, beets, and carrots.  Now I just need to find a neighbor with cukes to trade with.

Those dark cherries look to have a 'potato' leaf. Don't know what cherry varieties have that. If they're good, try saving the seed.

Pretty good haul this morning after a week away from the garden. Lots of spiral cracking on the CP..

        Good looking haul Ness,

     Our favorite variety we have many of. Black Krim but way tiny. Tasty but tiny. The yellow leaf type of blight took it's toll on our plants this season but did and have a harvest. I think I will pull a bunch of plants that have small green tomatoes that will not survive us being gone on vacation coming up. So towards the end of this week dirt and roots and crappy plants will fly through the air into a pile.  Our best producers this year have been yellow and Arkansas Travelers. A nice cluster of five Arkansas Travelers in the last photo. Anyone close to BilletHeadVille  want a few maters? Horrible pepper plants. Maybe a snack in the garden but noting to bring in the house. Really miss our cubanelles to stuff, smoke and cook. There will be a good amount of first time planting Tai hot peppers. That is if they get a watering while we are gone. The blacksnake did not come back for the baby bunnies. Still four in the raised bed. When I watered this morning they went crazy scattering in the squash and cucumber foliage. I grabbed one and it squealed, I looked around for a predator ready to pounce on the squealing rodent  and then realized I was the predator. Turned the baby back and checking later they were all in one spot again. :)

Tried Arkansas Traveler last year or the year before based on reviews but they were a bust. But the whole mater crop sucked the previous 2-3 years so maybe not a good trial.

Definitely wish that we lived closer. Would love to have some garden fresh tomatoes and maybe an Iron chef type battle or two Marty Morimoto verus Iron chef French Folly!  What squirrel again!?! How about some roadkill or maybe more yard carp☺!

Our cherries will have some ripe ones tomorrow or monday. Our two giant maters (may be beefsteaks) are just getting orange. Maybe Weds for those guys☺. Would love to have some rain! Lots of hand watering.
