Amazing little tomato
by Antoinette
First time growing these and my seed was from a few years ago! It went great and the tomatoes tasted insanely good. The name suits it as there was a hint of lemony goodness, yet the tomato was sweet, not acidic. I came back to order more seeds, but this time I won't wait years to grow them!
excellent

I planted these in the summer of 2020 and they produced more than any other cherry tomato I've ever grown, the fruit is sweet and great for adding to salads.
The hardiest of all sse winners from 2012
by The Grounds Keepe
The hardiest tomato I’ve ever had. This year I have dozens of varieties. I purchased the lemon drop seeds in 2012 from sse and I have save seeds and re-planted every year, though many where from volunteers, now in 2021, a record number.
