    Are you sure you are growing a tomato plant and not a chilli?

    I've been looking at Seeds of Italy and cannot find a tomato ciliegia but there is a Ciliegia Piccante which is a round, cherry chilli.

    Google only give a couple of references to Ciliegia tomaotes but lots of references to Ciliegia chillis; perhaps a mix-up has happened and the plants are chillis but with tomato-like leaves?

    Time will tell... but don't eat them raw if they are round, cherry chillis !!!

    Just a thought!!!
    The proof of the growing is in the eating.
    Leave Rotten Fruit.
    Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potasium - potash.
    Autant de têtes, autant d'avis!!!!!

      Nope - deffo tomatoes.

      I did lie about it being Seeds of Italy though - t'was Sutton's Italian Kitchen range (they now just sell as a collection, I bought them a year or so ago

      They are now perfect little tomato plants, but with the emphasis on 'little.'

        I have a link on my blog to a site with links to 12,000 different tomato varieties and I managed to find Ciliega!

        It looks very similar to one I grew last year, which is a French variety that Mrs TK had some old seeds of hanging about called Sanzana.

        I was going to pull them up at the start, as I thought they were growing blind. They turned out to be a very 'stumpy' bush variety with plum shaped tomatoes.
