As if I don't have enough tomato plants this year, I just found out that there will be a big seedling sale within an hour's drive with $1 plants!!!!! next week. I'm wondering if anyone has strong opinions on any of the following dwarf varieties that are being offered.
Parfait
Velvet Night
Rosella Purple
Perth Pride
Mr. Snow
Mary's Cherry
Big Green Dwarf
Banana Toes.

I've grown Rosella Purple. If you like sweet, this will probably fit. Doesn't crack that much either.

Second Rosella Purple. Tried Mr. Snow a couple of times but had low yields. But others have really endorsed it. Have not tried the others.

Rosella Purple for sure. It's on my "Grow every year" list. I've also really liked Perth Pride. But those are the only ones on your list that I have experience with.

Rosella Purple and Mr Snow were both excellent.

This would be a good opportunity to try all of them, if I can figure out where to put all of them!
What is the smallest container you’ve grown dwarfs in?

I grew Dwarf Arctic Rose in a 3 gallon container once and it did very well.

Growing Rosella Purple for the first time this year. Wasn't expecting big productivity, but already have 4 fruit set on the small plant.

I've only grown Rosella Purple of those listed, but I don't have particularly strong opinions about it. Small plant (of course), mild flavor, and nice color.

As it turned out, we got there at 8:04 am for an 8 am start, stood in line until about 9 am, and got some of the last plants (the sale started with 1000). The people who had their pick of plants got in line at or shortly after 7 am! So I got Moment micro, Parfait, and BrandyFred. I didn't put BrandyFred on my original list because it was one I definitely wanted to try!
