A tomato named "Peardrop"

[ContainerTed]

Was in Lowes today to get some decorator flower pots for the DW's newest flowers. I usually have a look at their "Distressed Plants" to see if there's anything I might want to try to doctor back to life.

Found a bunch of super-micro-dwarf-sized tomato plants with all kinds of yellow teardrop shaped tomatoes that were very obviously very ripe. Many of the little toms were laying on the shelves of the cart and, as usual, I saw an opportunity to expand my seed collection.

I asked the cashier if they would mind me taking some of the loose toms and she said "no problem" and pointed to the dozen or so that had been squished under foot already. They have to clean that up before end of shift. So, I came away with a modest 3.

The flavor is not bland, but also not tart. It has good depth and would be great in a salad with a dressing that would not mask the taste completely. It would also be a good "muncher" (snack them all before they make it to the house.)

Here's a pix of the fruit. Yes, I saved seeds.
