Jenny and I started our first garden this year so 2009 has been a most exciting year so far and it`s still only mid July. We are loving it so much that we have decided to doulbe our garden size for next year.

Today I went out to take pictures like I do every day now and saw that we have some Tiny Tim Tomatoes growing. The image below is not from out tomatoes yet, they are still Teeny Tiny Tim tomatoes but they are getting there.

Tiny Tim Tomatoes

  • The Tiny Tim tomato is a dwarf cherry tomato.
  • The tiny 1 inch tomatoes literally covered the plant.
  • The plant will grow to between a foot tall and 18 inches.
  • It matures in about 55 days

We bought 5 varieties of tomato with 4 Tiny Tim Tomato plants about 4 or 5 inches tall however come next year we would like to try growing them from seed.

We had them in containers but I transplanted the 4 of them into the same raised bed we have our strawberry plants. Hopefully the strawberry runners do not take them over before they are finished producing for our table.

I find it funny but even though I know they are not going to be getting any taller I still look at them wondering when they are going to start growing like my other tomato plants which are pushing 3 feet tall now.

Everything we are grow in our little garden tends to bring back a flood of great memories from childhood.

Most of the memories I have from living there were not the best memories but since we started gardening a whole flood of great memories have returned making gardening even more exciting now.

It is funny that most of my best memories have something to do with food.
