I grow heirloom tomatoes, and create new varieties. I also love antiques, obscure vintage horror films, home cooking, books, vintage clothing, music of all sorts, esoterica, history, volunteering, and meeting new friends from around the world! 🍅🌱👻🎃🦇💀
"Pa's Pride" is a beautiful and delicious variety of microdwarf tomato, and I will always grow it, from now on! Look at the size of the tomatoes! This is impressive, for the plant size (about 18 inches tall). These are the best tasting of all my micros.

So many pickings, this week! All are from microdwarf plants, except for the big red one.

My first ripe tomatoes from "Cocoa"microdwarf! Aren't they gorgeous? So small, but such an interesting colour. I will be cutting them to remove the seeds, and taste, today!

I haven't shown off "Laura #5," for a long time. Look at this beautiful elfin creature! She's less than 10 inches tall, and loaded with good sized grape-shaped tomatoes! The seeds were sown on 27th June. This one's in a 2 litre container.

I germination tested a batch of "Micro-Tina" seeds. These had been dried for three months, and were only in the ramekin of tapwater for two days, before poking out radicles. Mind you, I'm not going to cull these sprouts - they'll be my gifts for Christmas, as they'll be bearing, by then.

"Cocoa," from hybrid seed that was selected and stabilised up to F5. My resulting F6 plant (sixth generation resulting from the original cross) is true-to-type. The colour of the nearly ripe fruit is stunning! ♥️

"Pa's Pride" is the most beautiful microdwarf I've ever grown. The glabrous leaves are quite a rare trait, in Solanum lycopersicon. One variety of my own breeding (selected from a serendipitous mutation) also has them!

The first image is an essay by Marjorie Torrey (AKA Marjorie Torrey Hood/Marjorie Torre Bevans). She was a talented and vastly underrated commercial artist, and a socialist. The third and fourth images are some of her most famous works, from Dennison's Bogie Books.

"Gwenllian" (F5) microdwarf, my own creation. This strain has remained stable, since F2. ❤️

These plants were sown July 15th, so they're nearly a month old.

New micro tomato plants, in order:
"Fat Frog"
"Hardin's Miniature"
"Laura #5"
"Orange Hat"
For those who are visually impaired, all are young seedlings, with green regular leaved foliage (some rugose, some smooth). All are no taller than 7". None of these varieties will exceed 24".

Still looking great!

"Glass Spider F7." This was a cutting from an F7 plant, which was sown in September of 2022. It is genetically almost three years old. This strain is tough, because I bred it that way. 💪

She's still bearing loads of flowers and fruit. The flavour of these is absolutely gorgeous.

Here are some of my new seedlings - "Fat Frog," and "Pa's Pride."

Why is there always one giant, and one tiddler? They tend to catch up in the end, but it's funny how this happens. 🤣

"Glass Spider F8" update. Look at the helical profile, multiflora, and beautiful big shiny leaves! She's looking fantastic, in this generation. This one is growing in my friend Patrick's polytunnel.

Passiflora caerulea, in my new garden. The vines are loaded with flowers, and the bumblebees are feasting!

Here is my microdwarf "Gwenllian," being grown by my friend Patrick, in all of her June splendour.

I am sorry for having been so absent! I was busy with moving house, and settling in. I've also had some health issues rear up. I'm still growing tomatoes. I've got Micro-Tina growing on the window sill, at the new house, and I'm about to harvest the first ripe fruits. I'll soon have seeds to swap.

Microdwarf tomato "Micro-Tina" is setting fruits! I hope the tomatoes are decent tasting! Watch this space - I plan upon going into business, selling live micro plants, in the near future. 👍
