I grew a sweet 100 the other year and found the vast amount of waste
discouraging. Lots of popped fruit, rotting on the vine, tomatoes
dropping from the plant as ai harvest, a black sea of squirming ants
under the plant. It reseeded like crazy.
Anybody have a grape-sized tomato plant that has a more useful yield?

There is an improved version of Sweet 100 called Sweet Million FNT
Hybrid. It has much better disease resistance and resists cracking. A
couple others that I like that resist cracking are Sweet Baby Girl
Hybrid T (an early cherry tomato) and Marcellino Hybrid. If you like
small yellow tomatoes try Ildi (also called Yellow Grape) or Dr.
Carolyn, a pale yellow small tomato with very good flavor.
You can get seeds for these varieties from Totally Tomatoes,
