There's a Dwarf Out There...

...with my name on it.
Ok, so after growing 2 dwarfs over 4 years, in ground and pots, I am about to throw in the towel. Tried Wild Fred & Sweet Sue to be exact. DWF was meh in taste for me and not a good producer. Out of 4 plants, 2 of the DSS produced zero fruits and the other 2 produced a grand total of 4 tomatoes.
However, the DSS were the most robust plants I have ever grown; strong sturdy stems and no matter how hard I pruned back, new growth kept pumping out. I did NOT grow them any differently than my other 15 + varieties of non-dwarf tomatoes, which produced abundantly this year.
I would like to give dwarfs one last chance; so please tell me which ones did really well for you and I will then post in the Wanteds. I am partial to hearts but I am open to anything really. I just want to find The One.
