These are so cute! What type of tomato is this?? I recently saw a facebook ad for an orange hat tomato plant that looks similar and small, but ripens to orange. I like how compact they are.

Could be "Tiny Tim", but since I got it from my neighbour, I really don't know.

I don't know about others, but when I can literally roll the tomato off it's stem, without pulling or twisting, it's ripe enough. Unless, of course, you're making green tomato relish.

One thing that I have discovered from this growing season is that I won't be planting any more Sweetie cherry tomatoes. I have lost about half of the crop to splitting; some even after picking. They just aren't worth the time and effort. Next year, I'll stick with the Cherry Baby tomatoes- they are sweeter and more resistant to splitting. In fact, the only ones that I lost were damaged by hail, and at that it was only a half-dozen or so. This assumes that I can find the seeds next year, of course.
you cant harvest the seeds and dry them to plant like you can with chilli peppers?

No, because they are hybrids. The seeds won't run true. What I may get is one or the other of the parent plants.
aww man thats bad news i hope you can find the seeds your looking for next planting season
Beautiful!! I love that shade of pink! 
Do the orchids take a lot of special care?
Every now and then I'm tempted to try an orchid because they were DH's grandmother's passion; but I'm so intimidated and I don't keep indoor plants (plus they looked like great cat toys when my girls were younger
). Maybe it would seem less intimidating if we could do outdoor ones here. We just aren't in the right climate. (She was born and raised in Florida.)

I do nothing with the oncidiums and other orchids except toss in a bit of food every now and again. I don't have the 'difficult' ones though.Beautiful!! I love that shade of pink!

Those are cute!! I ordered a succulent in a little bunny shaped pot last year for my stepmother for Christmas. I forgot to ask how it arrived but the pictures were SO cute I was tempted to try one myself. (I believe the same seller had kitty shaped pots. My Dad and stepmom have bunnies.)
