Sun sugar tomato cherry tomatoes

Sun Sugar Cherry Tomato

These are the tastiest cherry tomato I've grown. I believe they are the Sun Sugar variety, although I didn't write it down in my garden notes. Not too many of these tomato treats make it indoors. Both R & I find excuses to wander over to the furthest reaches of the potager to nibble them right off the vine. This is the first year we've used a trellising system instead of stakes or cages, and now I will accept no substitutes. My Early Girls are a record-for-me 7 ft tall, thick with side branches and full of fruit. The trellis has made it easier to keep the fruit off the ground, and much less is getting damaged by ruinous pests. More for me!

The writing for the current chapter of the Highway 89 text is up to 2678 words, a sweet spot that lets me add some quirky facts without having to restructure the paragraphs. The history and present day southern Utah abounds with quirky facts, some of which I have recorded in my capacious 3x5 card system. I shall go dig some out. But first I think I'll go weed the tomato bed have a snack.
