i have some cherry tomatoes that don't
really have any taste. I believe i just have the
wrong variety.
Does anyone have a cherry tomato variety that tastes
so good you can't stop eating them?

thanks

If you live on a part of the continent that received the cold rain last May and
June then this might be the problem. Normally good tasting types of tomatoes
are coming out bland and watery.

I have really enjoyed Ruby (a grape tomato) this year.

Unfortunately, the squirrels and birds have also learned how good it is.

The best cherry tomato variety we've found is "Sweet Millions"

I thought I hated cherry tomatoes until I tried the variety 'SunGold,' which is
superb ('SunSugar' is slightly sweeter and less prone to cracking but the same
'style' of cherry tomato).

'Ruby' which is a grape tomato is also very good, as it has real 'big tomato'
flavor in a tiny package. Last year I dried a lot of little 'Ruby' tomatoes and
they are very good that way, too.

(The dried 'SunSugar' tomatoes are like an exotic cany.)

So far I'm enjoying the "Sweet Treat" hybrids I got from Burpees. While
still orange they have a nice acidic flavor (I favor this over true sweet
honestly) though once allowed to fully ripen they become quite sweet. I do
live in an area that got lots of rain during May and Early June. I find that
my tomatoes still taste quite a bit better than grocery store varieties, tho
I soppose if mine are somewhat waterlogged, they will taste even better next
year...

I still hate cherry tomatoes, but I grow SunGold because my wife likes
them and they seem to ripen a week or two earlier (in Spokane WA) than
other varieties we've tried.

If you like Sweet 100, give Sweet Million a try next year. Those
'maters never make it more than 5' from the plant before being
eaten at my house ; )

The best variety I have found is called Small Fry. It is available in
seed from various seed houses. Have not yet found transplants.
