Here is the story of my miraculous little cherry tomato.
My tomato garden is at the back of my property. Living on almost 3 acres that's quite a distance. In the front of my house is a long rose bed, heavily mulched every year.
For the last 2 years, this random tomato plant sprouts up right next to my Princess Diana Rose. I always find it weird because I wonder how a tomato seed got down thru that mulch and comes up every year in the same spot. Well I'm pretty sure it's a white cherry. The odd part comes in that I have never grown a white tomato until this year and it wasn't a cherry. So being me, I sit and chew on this all of the time. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.... So I decided this year that since that little plant was so determined to come back every year, I would taste it. It was very good. So I saved seeds for it and have named it after the Patron Saint of gardens and gardeners. St. Fiacre cherry. It's on my grow list for next year and will finally have it's proper place in the big garden. I am posting pics because I am wondering if it's a yellow or a white.Let me know what you think.

Nice story Terry it will be interesting to hear how it does with its own bed.
How is the name pronounced? It is not a saint with whom I am familiar. Since there is no St.Frederick I had given up on Saints names.
Hahahaha Freddy...I am saving my next tomato find for you. I will canonize you and we will have a Saint Freddy cherry. Except it might be sour!!!!!!! hahahaha
