Default Garden Pearl cherry toms

O.K. - very senior moment there.

Hi,

I have an awful lot of *Garden Pearl* this year - basically stuck one in
each large pot with other veg. as these are listed as a trailing 'hanging
basket' tomato.

They seem different from other cherry tomatoes I have grown.

Instead of the green-yellow-orange-red colour change they seem to go
green-green/white-white/red-red.

The final red is more like an eating apple than a normal tomato.

The texture is also a bit 'mealy' and again not like other tomatoes.

Is this usual for this strain, or have I done something unusual to them?

I confess to being a little disappointed so far, but hopefully they will
make a good puree for freezing and later use in cooking.

Cheers
Dave R
