I'm wondering if anybody can answer this question:

This year I'm growing 3 varieties of tumbling yellow tomatoes:

Tumbling Tom
Tumbling Junior
Tumbling Balconi

because these crop earlier outdoors for me & have a better chance of missing the Blight than my later cordon varieties.

I'd like to know whether the tumbling Junior & Balconi varieties are those very tiny (pearl ? size) tomatoes, or a more reasonable size like the Tumbling Tom variety. Anybody tried them?

We've grown Balconi and they're not the pearl type.

Thanks for that reassurance Tigger. Actually the Balconi looks as if it's growing the most vigorously of the three varieties so am looking forward to making some comparisons. I didn't really want any of the very tiny fruits which are so small they're a bit of a nuisance - except to pick and eat as sweets!

They've been good in the past. Have to wait and see what this year brings.
