Notes

"Sweet Olive. Space 18-24'' apart in rows 36-48'' apart. Full sun. Harvest at 57-63 days. This new grape tomato is sweet, bite-size, bright red and bursting with flavor. Their outstanding texture and perfect blend of sweet-tart taste make them a natural snack and a perfect addition to salads. The medium tall plants are easy-to-grow, productive and manageable without pruning. Determinate plant habit."

2014-05-17: Ate first tomatoes!

2015-01-09: I can't believe how long this plant has kept at it, and with little maintenance. I retired one of the plants which had a bunch of new flowers on it (but no tomatoes), and left the other.

2015-03-01: Finally retired. The last few tomatoes weren't that good, and we probably could have just retired this in December.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
