Extremely pleased to have harvested my first tomatoes of the year just now. This variety is called Chocolate Sprinkles, and is the only cherry-sized tomato I planted on purpose. I also have Mr. Stripey and Cherokee Purple tomatoes for slicing, some San Marzano (-style) for paste/canning , and some volunteers that haven’t fruited yet, but I suspect they are Yellow Pear and/or Sungold cherry tomatoes.
I gave these a quick rinse, then sliced and sprinkled with a little salt. Really looking forward to the rest of the summer.
Looking forward to harvesting mine soon!
I’ve never seen this variety, but it looks really cool.
This is my first time growing this particular variety! Normally I’d start my garden plants from seeds, but I had my wedding in late April to plan and seed starting fell by the wayside. So instead I got to wander around the local garden stores and buy whatever caught my eye (subject to available planting area).
