Not a fan of this Strawberry tomato. I grew one this summer in Atlanta. The shape is definitely “cute” but not much taste, a little on the mushy side and not a heavy producer. I pulled it out in July and replanted an old favorite.
Love your site! I should have listened to it before I bought that tomato this spring. Garden space in precious.
Thanks, Kay

Thanks for the information. I bought a starter plant at a garage sale for a buck and thought….this could be a fun variety. I’m actually a flower nut…but mixed in some veggie plants with my perennials this year. My plant just holds one tomato on it…but I’m anxious to see it ripen…for the big taste test. I stumbled across your website for other reasons…but found this to be some great information. God Bless You Always!

I would love trying new tomatoes that will grow here in Texas. It ain’t easy here. It gets really hot early and when it gets really hot the tomatoes won’t set fruit. I picked up some odd ones this year that were great. The stake is still out there and I need to write it down for next year. We planted some new plants the first part of July to have this fall. Our spring ones had gone all brown and had done their thing….and it had gotten above 100 for several weeks.

We haven’t really gotten into the heirloom tomatoes that much, but if I can find them easily then maybe so. Veg garden is sort of limited, so we tend to stick with Early Girl, Better Boy, Sweet 100 and this year I planted a yellow pear tomato. They are somewhat milder than red tomatoes.

Holy Confused-Fruit, Batman!

Can’t try them on principle. I’m incredibly closed minded when it comes to flavors – kind of like that person who says that they picked up a grape as a child, only to pop it in his mouth and discover the deep flavor of a kalamata olive? (Yes, I dated him. He has sworn off olives for life.)

I love the pictures, but I would be very afraid my taste buds might not forgive me if I sampled a strawberry-looking tomato.

Just teasing. Sort of. Thanks for the pictures… And the warning!
