But I can't grow a regular tomato for my life

I switched to all cherries years ago. I don't even trial anything bigger
than "plum" any more - too much wastage, not enough yield. If you have
Sancho Panza to aid you and want huge tomatoes, go on dreaming the
impossible dream. I'll be eating cherry tomatoes. When a cherry cracks
and becomes a slimy mess, it's a small fraction of the overall crop.
When that happens to a 2 lb. tomato, it might be a third of the crop on
that plant. I don't even want to try anymore - the windmills kept
bending my lance, and Sancho wasn't around to help, anyway.


Me thinks I will just stay with cherries. They go
nuts here.

And when I pick them and they rip, I just eat them!
