I'll second those. The name had escaped me, but I remember them doing
very well for me, too.

The 900 lb. gorilla in the room that no one has mentioned is, of course,
the Brandywine tomato which has a cult following, which is well deserved
in my opinion. It doesn't produce a lot of tomatoes, but the ones that
they do produce are magnificent.

For a yellow cherry tomato, you might try Blondkopfchen, which last year
(a cold year here), in my garden was a huge producer, and held up well
when the rains began.

I gave up on brandywines it requires a longer growing season unless you
begin them indoors way in advance. At least in Michigan.

Have grown in the past and have now started Brandy Boy Hybrid for this
year. They seem to mature about the same time as my other slicers and
have the Brandywine flavor. The few years I grew them they produced
very well. I think I stopped growing them when I got a bunch of new
varieties and didn't have room. Will let you know what they do this
year.

Thanks, I'm always lookin'.
