When I first started to plan my fire escape garden I thought that cherry tomatoes would work perfectly. Cherry tomatoes are small, so the plant would be small as well.
Now that summer weather has finally hit the NY and the plant is starting to grow, it’s gotten to be pretty tall. It’s about a half of a foot taller than me and I’m a giant.
I’ve had to get creative with the way that I’ve been supporting them.
I am not sure if it’s the kind that I’m growing, Anna Aasa, or it’s just the nature of the beast. My grandmother is growing tomatoes in her garden and the plant definitely isn’t as large.
The lesson learned for me is that just because the vegetable is small doesn’t mean that the plant will be.
What’s your thoughts -- are all cherry tomato plants large or is it just this kind that I bought?
