Tomato Seed Circle 2016

[MarkPelican]

I feel I'm getting weird tomatoes this year, this is Chiapas Wild Tom. I suppose it might be a megabloom but I've never seen anything like it on a small cherry tomato.

Those are weird looking fruits, perhaps cross pollinated with aliens!

There is a tomato variety which has fruits made up of lots of fruits if that makes sense, I forget the name at the moment but they look similar to the ones in your picture. They ripen red and off the top of my head there also might be a cousin which ripens yellow, though the red one is more usual.

Is there a possibility of variety mix up or do you think they are megablooms?

'Reisetomate'

Thanks Poly,

I need to have a traceback. I'm growing Reisetomate but I didn't think that these fruit were on that plant. Unfortunately all of my determinate varieties are growing close to each other, so they may have grown through. I'll have a look tomorrow. (I ended up with a lot more determinate varieties than I was expecting - 11 and I've only got limited space for them).

I'm growing lots of the seed circle seeds this year and they're all looking fab (if still green) - I am particularly excited about the Black Sea Man (you have to say that carefully )

Mark - they definitely should be tiny - like Jungle Jane's. Is there any chance you've got labels mixed up? I have mixed up all my chilli labels so no accusations here

Right,

Panic over. I've traced back the weird tomatoes and they're attached to a plant that's in a pot labelled Reisetomate so I apologise to everybody. However, the cherry sized red ones are definitely on a plant labelled Gold Rush Currant. However, if you look at this:


You'll see I have a problem of more determinate plants than I was expecting so a difficulty is sorting out which of the ten plants the tomatoes belong to.

I don't think I mis-labelled the Gold Rush Currant but I'll wait and see if I can sort it out as more tomatoes ripen. (If I've got some small orange/yellow tomatoes then I'll know).

The old tracing back trick Mark..Love it..

had to do it so many times due to overcrowding

^^^ I spent alot of time doing that last weekend!

[vixylix]

Dancing with Smurfs - how do you know when they're ripe? I've given them a squeeze and they don't feel it but is there a more scientific way to tell?

Thanks!
