Tomato Heaven - The Cherry Tomato Taste Test

Like many things in the potager this year, the tomato growth has been erratic and slow.  Until July, that is, when the blistering temperatures resulted in an eruption of growth and, thankfully, also a huge amount of setting fruit.  I've been removing the lower leaves ever since to keep the air flowing and hope to avoid the blight.  For that reason, I do spray with Bordeaux Mixture (the blue speckles visible on some of the fruit) as I know from experience that otherwise we may lose the lot, possibly before any fruit has ripened.

 I have as usual grown far too many varieties - 13 - but this is a tiny amount compared to what I would like to grow!
