For a cherry tomato, I like "Blond Kopfchen". It's a little slow getting
started, but is survives the fall rains better than anything else I've
grown, which gives it a long growing season. Then there is Stupice
(stew-peachy) a 2", 55 day tomato which is my first tomato of the
season, and for large tomatoes I like Striped German (low acid, good
taste for sandwiches), and Caspian Pink which comes in a few days before
Brandywines, which only do well for me in warm years (in other words,
not recently). The last few years, I've put down clear plastic sheeting
to increase the soil temps, which has kept my harvest a couple of weeks
ahead of my neighbors.

I've ordered Blond Kopfchen and Caspian Pinks from Tomatofest. To bring
the order up their minimum I added some of their new varieties, Amy's
Sugargem, Santiago and one that they listed as a favorite cherry, Isis
Candy.

I do much better with cherry varieties because they tend to mature
quickly. I don't have a lot of sun so the larger varieties frequently
don't mature by the time I have my first cold snap.

I think I've seen Sugarys at one of my garden centers, I'll look for them
this year.

Sweet 100s have done well for me, Black Krims haven't. I'll look into
Currants, I haven't heard of those before.

Grosse Lisse.

Cherry Gold : compact determinate plants recommended for smal pots and indoor windowsill
Red Robin : Tiny plants that bear clusters fo fruit. Recommended for container growing, both indoors and outdoors.
Sweetie : A sprawling indeterminate that produces clusters of sweet, cherry-sized red fruit. Not hybrid, seeds can be saved, an open-pollinated alternative to many of the hybrids available.

These tomatoes I have grown in my vegetable gardening and planning to grow Bush Beefsteak and Supersteak.

The seeds came from Tomato Growers Supply Company originally. I have
used seeds from the tomatoes for 3 years now.

Better Boy. I know it's not sexy, but the fruits are big and tasty and
the yield is good. I save the seeds even though it's a hybrid. I also
like Principe Borghese for drying (they taste good fresh too.)

Last time I looked, Tomatofest had a $25 minimum, and they are pricey
to boot. It is convenient though, because they have most of the
varieties (cultivars) of tomatoes.
When I ordered from them in 2010 my order was $18.80 plus $3.95
shipping. I saw nothing on their site today that stated a minimum
order. I could have missed it. I try to order enough to make the
postage worth while.

they're the smallest tomato, fun to snack on, but they are sluts and will cross
with any other nearby tomato with the greatest of ease, if that matters. and
they now have yellow ones
