They grow in a cluster like this.

Most are the size in my ring ( a womens size 8 for comparison.)

Can anyone tell me what kind of patio / cherry tomatoes I planted? They are sooooo small. Very sweet. The ripe and almost ripe disappear as soon as my almost two year old grandson spots them. :D

We once grew some yellow grape tomatoes that looked very similar to yours. There were thousands of them on each plant, and we had about 8 plants. I got so tired of picking them that I never grew them again. lol.

Wow, that is tiny! Are they tasty though?

ETA: I've grown sweet 100s before, but they were quarter sized. Maybe something to the soil or how they were grown? But the plant looks healthy... :hu

Hah, i just yanked out my sunsugar cherry. If i had to guess, the sunsugar might be a cross between sweet 100 and sungolds. It grew just like yours, grape clusters, and some of the tomatoes were just TINY. They were the orangey color of the tiniest one in your pic on the right. SUPER sweet, the plant grew enormous, and just kept producing neverendingly! Our weather is taking a chilly turn next week, down in the 20s is forecasted for at least several nights in a row, so i decided to wrap up the gardening for this season.

Could it be Gardener's Delight (AKA Sugar Lump)?

I grew those for a couple of years. Large Red Cherries were also in my garden. It took so much work to pick a handful of Gardener's Delight by comparison!

Finally, I stopped growing both . . .

Steve :rolleyes:

Sweet 100 sounds right. Very sweet. They are grown on the deck in LARGE pots. They could use more sun as they have gotten leggy.

Yum! They look rather nice don't they but I can see how picking them could be a pain.

At least they're bite-sized though! :D
