I think Sweet Millions is a good variety. I haven't had Sweet 100,
though
they're supposed to taste about the same. Millions is supposed to have
better disease resistance and more resistance to cracking than the 100.
I
don't have much problem with cracking on my Millions planted in the
ground.
I put one in a container last year and had cracking on that plant
though.

I tried a Sweet Millions for the first time this year, in a large
container.
I don't have any cracking but the leaves are beginning to turn yellow. I
don't know much about tomato disease--could it be some kind of blight?
There is plenty of fruit and it tastes great. I planted tomatoes in the
same container the past two years and only mixed in some compost this year
so I imagine it's time to completely wash it out and replace the soil for
next year.

Here's a picture of the plant though I'm a little embarrassed to post it
because they look so sad!

I had the same problem with the yellow leaves on my Sweet Million that I
potted last year. As far as what actually causes it... I really don't know.
Last year I also had one in the ground, and it did incredible, as is the one
I planted in the ground this year. as of now, it's a little over 6'.

I've pretty much given up on potted tomato plants. I even had some kind of
'patio' tomato variety last year, that didn't fare well either. Foliage was
thin, and yellowed. Fruit were sunscalded, and had a couple instances of
blossom-end rot. The only thing I can think of would be improper watering,
in my case.

Your Sweet Million is doing considerably better than the one I potted last
year.
