| Rite Bite grew to 4 feet and then died. A second plant is wilting and not looking good. Sweetie was right next to it and is doing fine and is now over 6 feet. Some of Sweetie tomatoes are cracked but that's a watering problem. The Sweetie cherry tomatoes are very tasty and better than last years varieties so I recommend it as a nice red indeterminate cherry tomato. Rite Bite I will not grow again. The splitting of the Sweetie cherry tomatoes has gotten worst. Now I'm not sure I'll grow them again even thought the plants are very healthy and I like to taste. |

| Do you mean Wild Sweetie, the wee red ones,not a currant, that originated with Diggers in Australia? If so, I've grown it and offered it in my annual seed offer but still prefer Sara's Galapagos in a wee red one.. Carolyn |

| Well then, how about this one. I had a unknown variety of tomato I had seed saved for 2 seasons. It was a volunteer when I decided to grow it next season. It grew short 4 feet tall both years and had small baseball sized irregularshaped pink fruit. It set easy and had clusters of 7 flowers. I looked forward to growing it this year and when it grew out I was shocked to find these. now I got these, and the plant is 7' tall with over 60 set fruit. I was racking my brain as to what happened and I had a cherry last season 15 feet away. I am thinking the 7ft is hybrid vigor. They are structured inside like a cherry. They almost remind me of a campari. I dunno but they taste GREAT. |
