Try again. Just failed once to submit a post with a pic. If it works, this is the first of four flower trusses so far on a Millefleur tomato. Can I claim under the Trade Descriptions Act, on the grounds that the name understates the number of flowers? Don't know what they taste like. I'm growing them mainly out of curiosity and to intrigue the grandchildren.

Presumably they will be cherry tomatoes and not Marmande size !!

Yes, the first ones to set are about real cerry size now. There is a yellow currant variety, very close to one of the original species, but I think the catalogue said that Millefleur were bigger than that.

I'm growing these too....I was expecting something smaller for some reason? but they are rocketing away merrily in the polytunnel!

Mine are the fetching yellow variety :)
