The Tiny Tim tomato was first introduced in 1945. It is a surprisingly small bushy determinate plant with deep green leaves. It typically grows 20-40 (8-16″) tall and 17-30cm (6-12”) in diameter. Tiny Tim produces good yields of sweet, scarlet, miniature cherry tomatoes with a robust tomato flavour.
Companions: borage, carrot, nasturtium, asparagus, parsley, onion, sage, thyme

In 2022 my Mom was moving, and went through the process of cleaning & sorting before the move. In a storage box, she found an unopened Tiny Tim seed packet. She gave it to me for planting, although neither of us expected much, because the last time she had a garden was 50 years prior. To our great surprise, every single seed sprouted! These plants are the descendants of those seeds. The image you see is a photo of the old seed packet.
