| I have grown mexico midget for going on 3 years now. It is my favorite tomato thus far. It has so much flavor packed into such a tiny tomato and is very prolific. I also get mexico midget volunteers popping up every year. I first found this tomato on Seed Savers Exchange as one of their taste test winners and also discovered it to be one of tomato expert, Craig Lehoullier\'s, ten tastiest tomatoes. It has earned a place in my garden every year. |

| Incorrect name. It is actually "Mexico Midget". Fabulous taste in a tiny 1/4 inch fruit. Grows in a wild rambling fashion. Large plant. |

| The plant is huge so leave plenty of room. The yield is abundant and they continue to produce even after a light frost. I can't keep them out of my mouth as I'm harvesting. |

| Great taste, huge plants! They're cherry tomatoes, but the name "Midget" is extremely ironic. Vines got nearly 20' long with tomatoes ripening all the way to the end in 4 months, though not nearly as many tomatoes as I would've thought. None of these actually made it out of the garden... they were the snack while harvesting everything else. |

| I've grown these for 3 years now. Very prolific.
great taste. I had some problem 2 years ago
with not being as prolific, so they went back to the same spot in my garden which get a little afternoon shade. It can be100 temps in Salt Lake in July and August. I hvae too many
to pick them all

| MM is exceptionally prolific and early, too, but the tast is lackluster. Might be good for processing, but that tends to be a real pain in the butt with cherry tomatoes. I probably won't grow it again.
