Tomatoes need a lot of room in your garden. Tall, looming vines can easily take up an entire garden bed, especially when they host large, heavy fruits.
But not all tomatoes are garden hogs. Meet the currant tomato (Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium), a pea-sized cousin of the cherry tomato. Just pop a handful of these tiny treats in your mouth any time you want a tasty snack, or toss a few in a salad—no need to cut them in half like you do with cherry or grape tomatoes.
These sweet, small fruits do best in full sun with the support of a cage or trellis. They'll cross-pollinate with other tomato plants, so plant them far apart from other varieties.
