| I'm looking for suggestions for next year. I like a tangy tomatoe but tender skin is important too.
Any color is OK too just want good flavor and a nice tender skin. What should I try? |

| My favorite is Sungold, no other cherry tomato even comes close for me. When they're orange, they're very sweet, tangy, and tender. Hugely productive plant, as well. |

| Thanks, I really like Sungold and hope to find some other colors that are similar. Seems that a lot of red ones are so tough skinned they jump out of the bowl rather than be stuck by a fork. Any more ideas/ suggestions? thanks bb |

| The "Totally Tomato" catalog had a rain bow seed pack last year. I have not tried them, but they are 4 colors of round cherry tomatoes. |

| I have a couple of Sungolds as well, growing in my yard. Amazing producer. Their skins are really too thin. Any rainfall and I'd say 75% the ripe ones at the time are bound to split open. They do, however, make up for it in quantity. Highly recommended.........Elliot |

| Check out Lemon Drop- I ordered my seed from Seed Saver's Exhange. I like it much better than a Sungold, and it's a pretty light lemony yellow color. Sweet 100's have a nice tender skin as well. |
