Spoon tomatoes are known as the world’s smallest tomato variety, producing clusters of tiny, jewel-like fruits that are bursting with intense sweetness and juiciness. These adorable, bite-sized tomatoes are perfect for snacking straight off the vine, adding to salads, or garnishing dishes with a pop of vibrant red color. A single plant can produce thousands of these delightful mini fruits throughout the season.
Type: Indeterminate, heirloom
Fruit Size: Tiny, around the size of a pea
Color: Bright red
Flavor Profile: Sweet, tangy, and intensely juicy
Planting Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep moist.
- Transplanting: Move outdoors once the danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 18–24 inches apart.
- Sunlight: Requires full sun (6–8 hours daily).
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Water at the base of the plant to prevent disease.
- Support: Use stakes or cages to support the sprawling branches loaded with tiny fruits.
- Harvesting: Pick when the tomatoes are fully red and firm. The fruit should easily come off the vine when ripe.
Spoon tomatoes are a novelty in any garden and make a fun addition to your summer harvest, offering a continuous supply of flavorful, miniature tomatoes that children and adults alike will enjoy!
