Good! Now transfer them to paper envelopes so that the seeds can breathe.

Make sure that you have a good plan for how you will use the spoon tomatoes. You will have a zillion seedy little tomatoes that are each the size of a pea — they’re cute, but there’s a reason that Indigenous South American peoples selected the hell out of this plant to breed larger fruit. I’ve grown this variety exactly once and found it to be a sprawling mess without a lot of use in the kitchen aside from pure novelty.

Choc. Cherry is my absolute favorite; grow it every year.

I tried 6 of those chocolate cherry tomatoes last season and not a single one sprouted. 😓.

Once you have spoon tomatoes: you will always have spoon tomatoes. I planted one plant 4 years ago and every year I end up with more plants. This last year there were 14.

Would anyone be able to link me to a reputable seller of spoon tomato seeds? T.I.A.

I like candy land for tiny tomatoes. I grew the spoon ones last year and I don’t think they are as good.

I will never grow a tomato smaller than the cherries they sell at the farmer’s market or grocery store.
Just FYI, they are a PITA! Don’t plant more than 3 or 4, even if you have a very large plot. If you only have room for <10 plants, I wouldn’t plant any.
