Easy Recipes From The Garden

It’s not every day that I go to the grocery store and fall in love. But when I saw this little Micro-Tom tomato plant sitting outside the store with its buddies, all for just $1.99 each, I couldn’t resist.

The Micro-Tom is “world’s smallest tomato variety,” and was developed at the University of Florida. Plants grow up to 8 inches tall and produce tomatoes about one inch in diameter, or the size of a crouton.

I can’t wait for the fruits on this little plant to ripen. But for now he’s keeping the basil and parsley company on the back deck, strangely sitting somewhat in their shadows and getting partial sun, but lots of TLC from me.
