Earlier this spring, a tomato volunteer jumped the walkway dividing the edible garden from the beds around the house.  Enough time passed and it was already quite established when I noticed it.  I decided to let it go and see what I would end up with.  Grape tomatoes.  Looking forward to an early taste.

Favorite Small Tomato: Grape Tomato

Grape Tomato--Lycopersicon

If given the choice between a cherry tomato and a grape tomato, my choice would be the grape.  The favor is more intense and quite frankly a little easier to insert a fork into when served in a green salad.

The grapes grow in a cluster.  We are ready for the day when these turn from green to red.
