In this post, I highlight one of my favorite currant tomatoes: Candyland. Find a short video and images in this post. I also share a few tips on where you can find this to grow from seed in your home garden.
Candyland Tomato in My Home Garden Video
In this short video clip, I want to show you the beautiful Candyland Tomato in my front entrance of the cut flower garden. The fruit not only provides a showy splash of vibrant color – It is a super tasty snack. I enjoy while walking about the cut flower garden inside the gate. I often plant a few border plants like shorter varieties of marigolds. In this clip, there is a yellow annual at the base of tomatoes. The perennial hibiscus is about done blooming at the corner of the garden fence. This video is from my late summer home garden.
About the Candyland Tomato
The Tomato Fruit Set is Indeterminate and takes 55 days to mature. This plant can grow 3-4 feet wide. It is classified as a currant tomato that grows quickly but neat and restrained. Candyland has never grown lanky or out of control like most of the currant (small fruit) tomatoes I’ve grown. It is my favorite because of the bright red fruit that splash amazing color in my garden and yet it is edible!
Did I mention in the first month of growing this plant in my garden we enjoyed over 100 tasty tomatoes off of 1 plant!
I love mixing my cut flowers with edibles.

Scroll down to see my personal growing tips and more. If you are having issues viewing the content above please reach out to me on my website. I look forward to hearing what you have to say about this Golden Sunking Sunflower. This video is part of my Bren Haas YouTube Channel. Golden Sunking Sunflower Details The blooms are amazing and super cheerful on this 5 foot tall stalk. I started my plants the 2nd week of June as seed which is kind of late for sunflowers. The bloom is a double and I personally think a little heaving for arrangements. On a brighter note, the bloom doesn’t drop pollen when used as cut flower indoors. Not to mention it was super easy to grow without any additional watering this summer. The biggest issue you may have is the heavy heads of this bloom. Be sure to prune as each bloom expires to help the plant stand straight.

Get Your Candyland Tomato Plants
Google “Candyland Tomato” to find the seed. I found at Park Seeds Company and Burpee the last time I did a search. In years past I found this variety in the Bonnie Plants (live plants) section at stores locally in NW Ohio. The selection of live plants changes often but you can at least look if you can’t find seeds to grow. Be sure to reach out to me and I will try and send you current details on where to find the seeds.
