Datterino Cherry (Italian Market Tomato)

[Solanum315]

I’m in Italy for a year and only brought a few seeds with me as I thought I would be stuck in an apartment. I ended up renting a house and now have a nice sized hobby garden in the back yard. Soil is heavy, gooey clay but judging from how my garden is doing, it must be packed with nutrients. Arugula, tomatoes, squash all love it; only green beans seem to dislike their environment.

I ended up planting Kumato Cherry F3, Japanese Black Trifele and Ildi. Bought a pack of Datterino at the market and really enjoyed them so I figured I would do a grow out of them and see what variations I would discover. Out of about 7 plants there is no variation so I’m suspecting that this is in fact and OP variety. Do they market a lot of OPs in Europe? It was not in any kind of specialty heirloom section… here’s a pic of some greenies. Very healthy and very productive plants. Looks like a lot of Caprese salads in my near future!
