World's Tiniest Tomato?


After Hurricane Irene blew over our house on Saturday, I ventured out to see how my tomato plants had weathered the storm. I wasn't overly concerned, because I'd tethered the containers to the porch, plus they've all but finished producing; I was merely curious about the damage the storm had wrought. This little guy caught my attention - a ripe tomato about the size of a blueberry was just sitting there among the twisted and beaten vines. Have you ever seen something like this? What causes midget tomatoes? I mean, my Marglobe bush only produced cherry tomatoes this year, but this isn't even close to that size. Another little wonder of nature, I guess.
