The tomato itself is a large red cherry with excellent flavor, the combination of sweet and tangy that I love. Randy\u2019s Cherry Bomb was bred and selected by the late Randy Sine, a man who epitomized the word \u201cgentleman.\u201d Randy was a skilled gardener and tomato breeder, a former civilian contractor for the U.S. Coast Guard, a musician, and a teacher in all that he did. Randy was a member of our gardening forum. Every single time that he logged into the forum, he would check on me. \u201cIs today a good kidney day?\u201d he would ask. \u201cAre you remembering to drink lots of water?\u201d He never forgot. During his lifetime, Randy created a number of excellent tomato varieties and, I believe, also pepper. He gave lectures that helped many others to grow food. And he grew 15 foot tall tomatoes. The photo attached shows Randy in a way that I will always remember, standing atop a very tall ladder and surrounded by these tremendous tomato plants. Randy wrote,<em> \u201cAnd of course what gardening season of mine would be complete without some ladder pictures of my tomato plants. \ud83d\ude42 Having said that may have been the last year I do it. They got really out of control and I had to reinforce the cages with long pieces of rebar and conduit.  BTW, my hands are touching the tops of the plants and they are roughly 12&#8242; in the photo.  Before it was all said and done they topped out at a little over 15&#8242;.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nRandy\u2019s Cherry Bomb is one variety that he grew, and selected several from the line to compare. This version has thinner skin, which I like, because it is not tough to chew. The thin skin does crack a bit if you live in an area like I do, where you can get 2 inches of rain in an hour and 8 inches of rain in one day. So when you grow this yummy red cherry, be as consistent as you can with the watering to avoid cracking. <strong>NOTE: One packet per order please, until I can build my stock.   <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14130,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[8,35,107,12],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14129","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-red-tomatoes","7":"product_cat-cherry-grape","8":"product_cat-ellies-wow-varieties","9":"product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"sold-individually","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/14129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=14129"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=14129"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=14129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
