Supersweet 100 vs. Gardener's Delight

tgplp · February 27, 2011

Hi! Which tomato would you rather grow? I'm looking for an early, good flavored, productive cherry. Of course, I prefer heirlooms, so would gardener's delight (aka sugar lump) be the better choice?

I wish I had room to grow both!!!

Thank you,
Taryn

Because you say you prefer open pollinated tomatoes, I will suggest you grow Gardener's Delight since it essentially is one parent to Sweet 100, and you asked for comparisons to Super Sweet 100, a hybrid from improvements along the same lines.

I grow both of those, both are early and good producers. I had ripe tomatoes off of both of them about 60 days after transplant last year.
Gardener's Delight produces a larger cherry than Super Sweet 100 but Super Sweet 100 has a much sweeter flavor and produces more tomatoes per cluster.
