What are you favorite grape and cherry tomatoes?
Comments (16)Sungold Sweet 100s Isis Candy Black Cherry Little Lucky Rose Quartz Jaune Flamme (Kind of oval shaped. Perhaps a bit big to be called a Cherry, but produces like it was a cherry.) Green Zebra (Also a bit big to be a cherry, but definitely elongated/oval and quite productive.)

Comments (2)I love cherry tomatoes! I try one or two new ones each year, and if they didn't take so long to pick I'd consider growing a garden of only cherry tomatoes. So far my favorites are Black Cherry -- great taste, productive but I like them so much I don't usually have many to share! Tommy Toe -- very prolific and my favorite red; tastes great at different stages of ripeness, I liked it better than any other red *tomatoes* I grew at the same time, and it produced until the first big frost (but different websites call it an Ozark heirloom and an Australian heirloom!) Galina's and Sun Sugar -- I grew both of these one year, and the taste was very close; sweet and prolific, and I like them better than Sungold (I've been growing Sungold in alternate years; I miss the fruitiness when I'm not growing it, but when I have a surfeit of Sungolds, I get tired of them and begin to detect an "off" taste) This year I've finally tried wintersowing outdoors and it works! so I'm planning to save lots of seeds. I'm growing Black Cherry, Camp Joy, Sun Sugar, a red grape, and (if it recuperates from being out in the cold one night without protection, or if I can find a replacement) Koralik....See MoreWhat's your favorite cherry tomato?
Comments (14)I've been considering what cherry tomatoes to grow next season the bulk of my plants are usually pastes and larger sized tomatoes. There has to be cherry tomatoes for balance though so from this thread (and Dr. Carolyn's book) I think Galina and Dr. Carolyn will be in my garden next year. I saw a black cherry in one of the threads here at Garden Web and I'm curious about it's taste as it looks fantastic....See MoreFavorite Sweet Cherry Tomato Opinions Wanted!
Comments (7)If you look below on this same page there's a thread titled Cherry Tomatoes and you'll find some opinions there. Actually almost all varieties tested to date for pH have the same amount of acid so I'm not sure what you mean when you say sweet with some acid taste. Perhaps you mean more depth of taste, more complex than just sweet? And I'm also a trong believer that folks should grow what interests them,you gave a list, in this case cherry tomatoes for you, b/c it's only you that can determine what you like b'c no two folks grow their plants the same way, use the same amendements, and have the same weather each season. And lastly, taste is both perceptual and personal and there's even a human genetic component as well. So while I may love Green Zebra Cherry b'c it's sweet and has a great taste, and I know some others feel the same way, there are others who will say, it didn't do well for me and I won't grow it again. So we're all on a search to find what does best for each of us in order to find what works best for us. And the more varieties you grow, the better able you are to compare what you've grown in the past with what your new ones are. I'll look at the suggested varieties from someone who has grown 100's, yea thousands of varieties over someone who has grown 10 or 20 varieties just b'c they have grown and compared more varieties. Just me own little opinion here. ( smile) Carolyn...See Moredaniel_nyc
