I'm going back to the supplier of my "jellybean" plant (he lives a few

About the "jellybean" plant, don't blame the grower, blame
the seed producer. My garden group grew them this year from
seed for our Spring Sale and I planted one in my own
garden. The tomatoes on it are at least 1" in diameter if
not bigger. I am really disappointed as the picture on the
seed packet shows those little grape size tomatoes you see
in the supermarket.

Thanks, Linda. Since you mention "picture on the packet", I assume
this wasn't saved seed. Rather disappointing. And I'm sure to my
supplier, too. I got a Sweet Million from him last year that was very
productive, but the skins were thick, which he mentioned. Skin on the
"jellybean" is also thick. Tommy Toes, a somewhat larger cherry type,
has thinner skin and the fruit is sweet.

Sorry I don't know any reliable types/sources for smaller types.
