Tempting new tomato varieties

Here are some new tomato varieties from Bonnie Plants — www.bonnieplants.com — available at garden stores and major chains such as Home Depot and Lowe’s.

Cherry Falls. Plant grows less than 10 inches tall and 24-36 inches wide, in a cascading form that’s attractive in a pot or window box; fruit about the size of a large cherry.

Tumbling Junior Yellow. This compact version of Tumbling Tom features a tart-sweet flavor that makes them great for snacks, salads and shish-kabobs on the grill. Plant in a large container.

Sungold. Children will eat them like candy, picking the small fruits from long clusters. Pick fruits at their deepest color for a real sweet, fruity flavor.

New Girl. Medium-sized fruits on these 5- to 6-foot-tall plants are ideal for slicing and dicing, especially when you drizzle them with olive oil and fresh-chopped basil for a taste treat.
