9 June 2009:  1st ripe Sugar Lump Cherry Tomato shows up —

For those who would put sugar on their homegrown tomatoes, here is one that they need to try:  Sugar Lump Heirloom Cherry tomatoes.  These super sweet delightfully red marbles of tomato-ey goodness.

This is an indeterminate plant with a maturation length of 75 days produces small fruit that are a very deep red, glossy, sweet with enough of an acidic flavor to make this tomato extremelhy tasty.

The plant is prolific, producing delightful clusters of the cherry shaped fruit.

In addition, the seeds for this heirloom tomato are readily available in garden shops and on the internet.

The gangly and ever growing branches need tomato caging and regular checks to tie up the spreading branches. This photo was taken on June 9, 2009, just after the very first cherry tomato ripened.  This is definitely one of my all-time favorite tomato.

Top those salads with this delightful treat and you will soon find yourself popping these into your mouth as you stroll through that tomato patch.
