millet – I found the pearl cherry tomatoes growing wild in the farm. That they grow well from the seeds dried from the fruits confirms that they are an heirloom variety. Sago tomatoes – ha ha! Nice name!

I like putting mozarella and a little feta over them over nice crusty bread, some freshly ground pepper , drizzling some olive oil, and putting them in the toaster oven for around 2 1/2 – 3 minutes. Yes, for the same burst in your mouth experience.

pearl cherry tomatoes! so that’s what they’re called. our compost pit sprouted a couple of seedlings, and we’ve stopped composting since then. now we have fun harvesting these tiny beauties that are perfect for salads and pasta. i leave them whole when i put them in pasta dishes, and part of the eating experience is letting them burst in the mouth and tasting all the sweet flavors. everyone kept telling me they were cherry tomatoes but i kept insisting they were much smaller than those, and that there had to be a proper name for them. i called them “sago” tomatoes (sago, as in bubble tea!). now i know. thanks, MM and Gejo!

how the seeds got into my compost pit i still do not know, but i’ve made sure to save seeds so i could plant again.

I usually eat those tiny tomatoes like peanuts…..just the perfect size and taste like heaven in my mouth. We have something similar here in Oz and it’s called Tobalong tomatoes and it’s the sweetest and the most delicious tomatoes I’ve ever tasted.

Wow, little gems of goodness!! I can hardly wait for the farmers’ market here in the midwest – probably late July or August before we can have a taste some heirloom tomatoes.

I’m so envious of your Gejo and access to all the good things on his farm. It’s Sidcor for me if I wanted organic goodies. I like the bowls you used to hold the treasures. Somebody was patient enough to teach me pottery at one time and I was able to create “rustic, almost crude” type of platters, plates, bowls … They were ‘perfectly imperfect’ lying on my long tables, distressed ones.

So colourful! And yes, I took notice of the green ceramic bowl and I was thinking of selling my ceramics. Now I do not know if I want to let them go.

bettyQ; Thanks, but at this point in my life, I can only admire and no longer want to acquire.
