Prolific and good, May 2, 2008
Submitted by Ruby711 from Sandston, VA

"Grown for the first time last year - pack of 4 seedlings from a local store. Planted in loosened compost and top soil mixed with a hit of Miracle Grow, caged in standard tomato cages & watered via drip irrigation every other day or when I remembered. They were fantastic! Sweet and more like baby romas than cherries - being on the dry-side is a plus to me. We picked an average of 40 a day every day throughout the summer until late-September. These are the only cherry/grape tomatoes that I'll have in the garden."

The sweetest ever, January 17, 2008
Submitted by BurpeeExpert from Doylestown, PA

"By far the sweetest cherry tomato I’ve ever tasted! These tiny little fruits really give off an aftertaste of honey – its as if you dipped the fruits in honey before eating them. My plants had incredible yields all summer long."

Biggest Hit of Summer 2007!, February 24, 2008
Submitted by Marmoxmag from Scarborough, ME

"These tomatoes were the surprise hit of my garden in 2007. I had never tried this variety before, usually planting Burpee classic red cherry tomatoes. First, these are DELICIOUS fresh off the plant and stay fresh for a long time in the fridge. Secondly, I couldn't *believe* the yield. I truly must have had 100 tomatoes on each plant, easy. I couldn't keep up with them, and invited friends and neighbors over to enjoy the harvest. Finally, unlike the yellow heirloom pear tomatoes, these don't split when they're ripe. The pears split open the second they're ready meaning 100% blemished fruit, but these are "ripe" at a variety of shades and never split open. I'm planting again this year! :)
SUGGESTION: plant fewer than you think you'll need because of the yield."

Submitted by blondemamaof2 from Lanark,IL

"Here in Tennessee we love our tomatoes! the more acidic, the better. i was very please with the turn out of these plants. At their peek i was filling a reguler sized cereal bowl daily with tomatoes, and i was letting my neighbors help themselves, and there were still ripe tomatoes on the vine!! . The taste is fabulous and i used them in most meals, they froze well...what can i say?!?.. i'll buy these again this year!"

The Best Veggie Support Ever!, October 31, 2007
Submitted by slg222000 from Philadelphia, PA

"I bought these cages after years of using the circular ones you can buy at local garden marts. I always ended up with the cages bent over and the plants growing on the ground! Not anymore!!! These cages are super-strong and definitely worth the purchase!"

"Grew this tomato last year, everyone loved them. Although, the plants get extreamly tall (sometimes over seven feet) it is a high yielder and has a great flavor. Planted again this year with great sucess. My husband's co-workers can't wait until I share. Will definitly plant again next. year."

Best Cherry Tomato Ever!, August 20, 2007
Submitted by 4sun

"I grew this tomato for the first time this year because all of my friends and family told me how awesome the tomato was. I planted two plants and gave the other one away to my cousin. The plants are now producing so many tomatoes I don't know what to do with them. I am canning, freezing, and just eating raw. The plants are now about 7 feet tall. As for the taste they are #1! They are so sweet! No one can get enough of them! Another positive effect is that they are low in acid so no matter how many you eat you don't get heartburn. The neighbor's kids, which are 3 and 5, come up to our garden and eat these tomatoes right off of the vine for that fact that the vines don't require the use of pesticide for they have no pests. This tomato is my family and I's favorite tomato ever!"

GREAT Tomatoes, July 5, 2007
Submitted by greenthumbgrammy

"Its only july 5th but i have already harvested handfuls of these supersweet delights. Plants are staked and load up with tons and tons of flowers and the grape tomatoes are simply mouthwatering right from the garden. I love these! They are really sweet. I highly reccomend these as they produce well and the harvest keeps coming. Mine are ripening from bottom up. I planted 12 of these and everybody loves these gems!"
