| I was wondering if any of you could tell me if "WILD SWEETIE" tomato from Diggers is a Currant Tomato? A friend of mine emigrate to Australia and sent them to me and I have them in my greenhouse right now. The plants have set about three trusses of fruit and, to be honest, I have never seen such a wee tomato in my life.
I assume that if it is a currant that I must be very careful as it will cross easily with my other toms. Thnaks, Jeff |

| Hi Do you mean the L.pimpnellifolium the wild form of tomato.... These fruit are only around 1cm in diam sometimes getting twice that size but most common in the smaller size > Very tough self setting and ramble, flat leaf? Hey have a green house here too similar to yours, makes sense with summer last year reaching 115 F hehehe I grow in there using hydroponics during winter I would be interested to hear what else you grow and how generally you manage you GH

| Hi Seonau, Thanks for responding to my query. I just updated my GW page with a link to my 2nd greenhouse. Right now, I only have tomatoes- 50 or so in soil and another 10 in pots, peppers (Japanese green peppers and shishitou (sweet), and alpine strawberries. Perhaps I should do an inventory of what is growing..... Hydroponics.....I don't suppose you have any pics do you. I will be updating my photos....a few tweaks since I installed it. I have a few Aussie/Kiwi tomatoes growing: Tommy Toe, Earl of Edgecombe, Taupo. Jeff 115 F hmmmm.....40+C? |

| Hi Jeff Wild Sweetie IS a L. pimpinellifolium and it is a currant type. Of all the tomato types, the currants do not cross (or have never been seen to do so anyway)...Why did you think they might? have you had some experience of this. The most prone to crossing are the beefsteak types and those with "potato" leaves...but that is by the by cheers Peter |
