Currant tomatoes
Types of tomatoes to grow
If you’re like me, you probably find it hard to narrow down your list of must-grow tomatoes. Every year I aim to plant fewer seedlings, yet by mid-summer my garden is bursting with tomato plants! It’s hard to resist the incredible variety of tomato types available through seed catalogs. Below you’ll learn more about different types of tomatoes, starting with the small-fruited types and going all the way to the massive fruits of beefsteak tomatoes.
Currant tomatoes are the tiniest type of tomato you can grow. The small fruits are about 1/2 inch across and have a rich tomato flavor. This is Candyland Red.
1) Currant tomatoes
Currant tomato plants tend to be a bit wild looking, with their vigorous growth sprawling in every direction. They’re a bit hard to stake, but I try to keep the plants upright to conserve garden space and reduce the risk of soil-borne diseases. By mid-summer, the plants are producing hundreds of pea-sized fruits bursting with delicious tomato flavor. These tiny tomatoes often split as you pick them and are best eaten soon after harvesting.
