A vegetable hand-picked from your own garden tastes better than anything you can buy in a store. And here in Florida, home gardeners can grow vegetables all year long. Home gardens are convenient and may encourage you and your family to eat more fresh vegetables. The choices are endless, with vegetables of all sizes, colors, and shapes.

You can’t get a more adapted tomato for Florida than one that has been growing wild here forever. These are wild currant type tomatoes that have been growing mainly in the Florida Everglades and throughout Florida. They can grow almost all year in Florida and similar climates but can grow anywhere. They love the heat, humidity, are drought tolerant and resist many diseases and pests. The fruit is about the size of a dime with a salty-sweet tomato flavor.
