No, you're thinking of cherry tomatoes, of which there are many varieties.
Spoon tomatoes are much smaller. I grew them once, but they were too tiny
for my taste. Literally. I don't recall seeing them available anywhere
except Seed Savers' Exchange Yearbook. You have to be a member ($30 per
year) to order, and then you have a choice of well over 11,000 unique
varieties of fruits or veggies. In joining and growing those seeds you're
also contributing to larger gene pools. I think it's a good deal. Margaret
