Suggest det/dwarf cherry toms for preschool garden?

emcd124 · March 6, 2013

i'm looking into determinate or dwarf cherry tomatoes for my son's preschool garden project. They are hoping for veggies that are bite sized (to encourage the kids to pick and eat) but these preschoolers wont be able to reach an 8 foot tall plant to harvest.

I saw a link to det varieties in Tatianas tomatobase, but unfortunately I've never heard of any of them, either personally or in my reading online. I also have no idea which will be easy to acquire and grow (these are kids doing most of the gardening) and which will be prima donnas in the garden.

Can some of you more experienced growers recommend a few varieties that will be worth trying as well as possible sources for seed? I (and about 30 preschoolers) will be in your debt!
