There are tomatoes whose taste will delight even the most inveterate sweet tooth, including children.
This mainly concerns cherry tomatoes – small but very powerful ones.
In turn, experienced summer residents single out two varieties among them, which, as they say, are perfect for both adult and baby food.
"Thumbelina"
This is an early ripening variety, the fruits appear 90-95 days after germination.
The bushes can grow up to 2 meters. The plant feels great in a greenhouse, giving its fruits until frost.
As a rule, red tomatoes are small, but very sweet.
They are distinguished by their round shape, smoothness, weigh from 15 to 25 grams, and have dense flesh.
A big advantage of "Thumbelina" is that the variety is resistant to late blight and cladosporiosis.
The bushes can also grow in open soil, and also reach a great height, so they need to be tied up.
But it is important to remember: since it rains often in our climate, late blight can affect plants faster than in a greenhouse.
"Honey Drop F1"
The name is related to the shape and color of the fruit - they are yellow and resemble drops. Sweetness - off the charts.
The bushes can grow to more than two meters. The fruits are slightly larger compared to "Thumbelina".
At the beginning of the season, "Honey Drop" requires the procedure of pinching out stepsons.
In August, the growth of new ovaries should be limited so that the already formed fruits can ripen normally.
Despite the fact that the variety is considered resistant to diseases, experienced gardeners recommend prophylaxis against cladosporiosis for greater reliability.
