Note
A few years ago, we did a test of indeterminate green cherry tomato varieties. The Pocket Star tomato was one of the best, for its taste and its tender skin. It stood out above all because it’s easier to know when to harvest: unlike others that remain pale green even when ripe, Pocket Star turns darker with a slight golden yellow tinge. What’s more, it’s a variety that’s not widely available, and even very rare, so that’s all the more reason to grow it. And it’s perfect in a mix of cherry tomatoes!
