Little Sugar Yellow tomato - my first home grown tomatoes!

Mid November I decided I would try my hand at growing some of my
own fruit or vegies. By late November I had acquired and potted
4 varieties of cherry tomato seedlings from Bunnings

Floriana Cherry Tomato Cocktail - 4 flavours:
Sweetbite, Sundrop, Little Sugar Yellow, Tommy Toe

My partner's Dad helped with putting them in the pots, propping
them with stakes as they grew and feeding them a special potion
every so often. They grew so quickly we had to keep adding longer
stakes and now each pot is at its third stake!

Seven weeks on and this week I have picked and eaten my first
tomatoes. Little Sugar Yellow ahead of the pack with 4 ripe
ones and atleast 40 little green tomatoes still on the bush -
with more to come if the flowers are any indication!

The other 3 tomato bushes are doing well with around 15 to 25
tomatoes on each bush, a couple starting to colour up and all
with more flowers showing promise.
