It is the size of the new 5p which is smaller than 1p and possibly the nickel. I have posted a picture on my website and I hope you don't mind but I have linked to this post to show where the inspiration for the tiniest tomato came from.<BR/>I enjoy reading your website.<BR/>Sara Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-26646551672298534872007-08-29T11:18:00.000-04:002007-08-29T11:18:00.000-04:00You've got me laughing Carol :) Your royal treatme...You've got me laughing Carol :) Your royal treatment of "Tiny Tom" is creative and quirky :) Great sense of humor.<BR/>Alas, I can't join in the competition. My smallest tomato is rather large compared to yours. I planted "Juliet" grapes. They're quite good, but not as sweet as those little round cherries. <BR/>My larger toms are slow to ripen. <BR/>I've only picked 5 so far...and the slugs have Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-27509919586991588452007-08-26T08:28:00.000-04:002007-08-26T08:28:00.000-04:00Curtis... my problem was dry then hot!Dirty Knees....Curtis... my problem was dry then hot!<BR/><BR/>Dirty Knees...

They do let me eat them after they have been brought inside which is nice.<BR/><BR/>This is a challenge though and I may have to touch the tomatoes if I find a really tiny one.

My 'Mr. Stripey' hasn't produced much and what it has, has split on the vine. Why do they do that? Romie says they taste good, though.
