The Mexican Midget tomato is a beloved heirloom cherry tomato variety known for its incredible productivity, rich tomato flavor, and delightful sweetness. These tiny bright red fruits grow abundantly on vigorous sprawling vines, producing clusters of flavorful cherry tomatoes throughout the growing season.
Despite their small size, Mexican Midget tomatoes deliver bold old-fashioned tomato flavor with a pleasant hint of sweetness that makes them perfect for fresh snacking, salads, garnishes, and summer dishes. Their thick skins hold up exceptionally well, giving the fruits excellent texture and making them ideal for tossing into fresh salads without splitting easily.
The plants are hardy, vigorous, and highly productive with long sturdy vines that continue producing until frost. Due to their heavy yields and sprawling indeterminate growth habit, strong cages or staking are recommended to support the plants throughout the season.
Reliable, flavorful, and incredibly productive, Mexican Midget tomato remains a favorite among gardeners looking for continuous harvests of delicious cherry tomatoes.

How to Save Seeds
Tomatoes are self-pollinating, so separating varieties by approximately 50 feet is generally sufficient for maintaining seed purity.
Harvest tomatoes when fully ripe and allow them to sit for several days if desired before seed processing.
Cut fruits in half and scoop the seeds and pulp into a mason jar with a small amount of water for fermentation. Seal loosely and place the jar in a warm location away from direct sunlight.
After 5 to 7 days, remove floating seeds and mold from the top. Pour the remaining healthy seeds through a fine mesh strainer and dry thoroughly on screens or paper towels, turning seeds regularly to prevent sticking.

Mexican Midget
These are so tasty, its hard to make it to the house with them. The seeds are quick to germinate, plants are ALWAYS hearty and fast to grow, bloom, and produce all the way till frost. They do need room to grow, staking, or a trellis as they are viney.
