Help me pick a cherry tomato variety
Ok last year was the first time I started my grow bag garden from seed, it was a great experience, and the people here gave me lots of help. So again I ask you to help me choose from these 2 varieties Tiny Tim or Chadwick both are cherry tomatoes, and whatever one I use will be grown in a 4gallon grow bag. I'm asking now so I can order the seeds, thanks for the help.

Tiny Tim is a microdwarf. It would do fine in a 1 gallon pot. Maybe you could try both?

Check out Snowberry tomatoes. They are a yellow/white tomato and breed true. Lots of fruit, indeterminate, and seem to be disease resistant. I have not gotten one with TSWV although it has nailed several other varieties planted nearby. Great taste. Eat them like candy. My son introduced them to me when he worked in a cooperative garden in Rhode Island. http://www.reimerseeds.com/snowberry-tomato.aspx

I grow a couple or 3 cherry varieties every year. Large Red Cherry is always one of them. It's a great little tomato!

From those two options Chadwick is obviously the one to go for. It's also good. Tiny Tim is for max one gallon.
