That one sounds like it would pass for a rock.

As for A pink tomato, if I don't suggest Aunt Ginny's Purple, then I'd have to list the several hundred pink also-rans.

My favorite pink slicers for taste are Elgin Pink, Terhune, Rebel Yell and Barlow Jap. I've grown hundreds of pink slicers and am trying a few new ones this year but those are the real winners for me so far. None are small plants but supposedly you can grow any tomato in a container.

Oh, and I've tried Aunt Ginny's Purple- 3 times.

New Big Dwarf was very disease prone for me as well. And the Dwarf Project lines that included NBD as a parent also were disease prone for me in their earlier segregations. I was growing them in buckets, so the diseases I encountered were airborne rather than soil borne ... septoria and early blight mainly.

I don't know how well it would do in a container, I have never tried it, but a favorite of mine is German Johnson.
