Patty, What is the Sweet Chelsea cherry Tom? You say you love it and I am not sure what it is. I may be interested in that and would like some of the dipper gourds, maybe a persimmon. I will have to check my seeds and see what I have. We had a drought all summer so my seed stocks are low Thanks for the offer Joanie

Hi Joanie,

Sweet Chelsea is a cherry tomatoe that is very similar to Sweet 100, or Sweet Million. It supposedly resists cracking better than those. (I actually grow both SC & S100.) It's extremely prolific, and bears huge clusters of sweet fruit. A vining tomatoe that gets tall, mine easily grows 12 feet on an arbor. I think they are quite pretty, as well. I plant quite a few along my "chore route", folks love to grab a handful as they pass. :-)

I love tomatoes, can you tell? I grow quite a few varietys and favor an old time "acidic" flavor. You know,....that sun warmed tomatoe you remember eating as a child. (It's actually not acid content, but sugar that affects taste, just a little trivia for ya.)

Here is a quote from this article,

http://www.beautifuleasygardens.com/articles/tomatoes.html

"Some of the best dwarf tomatoes, which are perfect for containers or small urban backyard gardens, include Florida Petite, Red Robin, Sweet Chelsea, Small Fry and Bush Early Girl, a two foot tall tomato plant that produces six to seven ounce fruits. Sweet 100 is considered by many to be the ultimate cherry tomato to grow."

As for a trade, don't worry about it! These are really common seeds and I have tons! Just email me if you are interested.

Oh, I also have a bunch of Butterfly Bush seeds. (Sorry, I'm really bad with Latin names!) It just got done blooming, what a show! Vivid purple flowers, huge and bushlike, a perennial that the bee's, butterflys and hummingbirds love.
