Every year we plant a Sunsugar and a Sweet Millions tomato plant. Then, we add an "experimental" variety or two as we find them at the nursery. A couple years ago, we tried a white cherry, aka ghost tomato plant. Sickly yellow in appearance and disgusting in taste, it was a total waste of time, water and garden space. The nursery we bought it from said other gardeners had the same complaint.

Last year, besides the Sunsugar and Sweet Millions, we planted a black cherry tomato. It was quite prolific, not really black, and not tasty enough to be invited back for dinner.

Without some kind of life support, it's too early and too cold to plant tomato starts in the ground around here.
