I call them spurs because that's what my dad always called them. Apart from that - I don't know.

Hey, I'm in luck this year. I didn't grow any tomatoes of my own but my next-door neighbour did. He went away last week and brought his 2 outdoor plants round for me to look after while he's away. They are cherry tomatoes and there's loads of them. He told me to use any that came ripe so we've had a few and they're delicious. He's not back for another week and lots more are ripening every day.
