We just harvested some Cherry tomatoes -- which were from a volunteer plant which I'd yanked in mid-January, when our tomatoes are usually flatlining (SoCal desert - planted around Labor Day the year before).

Surprisingly, those held up really well, considering that we've been in triple-digit temps for over a month now here in Warmthville...no sunscald at all.

I don't "do" anything tomato - but wifey loves 'em - but the report is that the little cherries were quite good, but an attempt at making juice was a bigtime fail.

Make sure you pitch a few tomatoes out where they can continue to propagate.

Sounds like they are well adapted to the area. Sell the seeds and call 'em "Erns Cherry Tomatoes"

I love volunteer plants of all kinds as long as the produce is edible. LOL
