1, kvet that sounds amazing!!
2, I don’t know it they would be suited outside of Florida but Everglades tomatoes are the greatest thing I have ever discovered.
Between the size of a dime and quarter, sweet but not overwhelming and they cannot be stopped. Grow in sand, dirt, grass and clay, full or part sun and they are very draught tolerant. Might be worth a try if they are hardy to your winters.


Mine grow and fruit year round

In the past, I had apple trees, cherry trees (sour and sweet), a plum tree, an apricot tree, and a peach tree but, last spring, we had them all cut down. The weather where I live has gotten rather crazy, we were not getting bees when the trees were in bloom, and we were definitely not getting fruit. All of the trees needed sprayed for various issues with emergent spray, then, during the year, a fungicide, a pesticide or both When we had them cut down last spring, in their enthusiasm, the workers accidentally removed our blueberry bushes, too. Opps. We also had the Chestnut tree removed due to the American Chestnut blight.

Now, I just have red currents (planted long ago and disease free--our neighbors have healthy White Pines), strawberries, top hat blueberries, and arctic raspberries. All but the currents are growing in pots so they can easily be covered or moved to shelter if we get freezing temperatures after weeks of warm weather (like this year).
I also grow fruiting houseplants (yes, citrus are houseplants in Ohio). Some are more ornamental as indoor plants but I do get passionfruit, various citrus, figs (I have one that isn't cold hardy), and I hope one day to get whatever comes from Sapodilla 'Alano' but that might just be an ornamental in my conditions.

I thought these were "cape gooseberries" when I read your post but after looking them up, they appear to be cherry tomatoes. Send seeds, I want to try them

Okay, I'll add that to next year's potentials if I have any luck with mine! I was at a nursery in January picking up something as the seed packets were being restocked, and mixed up the name with Black from Tula (which was what I wanted to try!). It was more of an impulse, but, I'm happy right now all are growing!
