sweet million.

has anyone grown a tomato called sweet million. i have had good reports but never tried it. is it a cherry. any info please. [ cheers wrinkly1]

 

I've heard of it Wrinkly but not grown it so i'll be interested to find out too

 

It's a cherry cordon tomato and one (of numerous varieties) I grow every year and a hardcore favourite. I grow loads so there's plenty to roast for making pasta sauce.

And although it's supposed to be an F1, you can save seeds from them

I too grow them every year from saved seed, they live up to their name, tiny sweet tomatoes and loads of them, mine never get as far as a cooking pan, it`s the one I eat whilst picking tomatoes

 

Its a cherry tomato, full stop.
Yet another cherry tomato, full stop.

 

not a lot of help there then pete.

 

Does it help if I say that, as a cordon cherry tomato, for me it's second only to Sungold F1?

That's because although Sweet Million have almost as high sugar content, they never seem 'oversweet' if eating large numbers or using them for single varietal roast tomato pasta sauce (and some people get put off by a golden tomato sauce).

 

thanks scrungee. i/ve no idea on cherrys so now i have something to work on. cheers wrinkly1

 

There are so many, and as far as I'm concerned it's how you grow them that makes the difference in taste.
Grow them in the same way the commercial growers do and they will taste the sames as they do in the supermarkets.
