dfollet is the man with the micros. A lot of us are growing his crosses. I am just about to go pick a few ripe cherries right now, and try to make my seed selections out of what he sent me.

A hanging basket is a really poor place to grow a tomato plant. They are mostly a decorative novelty. The only variety I have ever grown that looked good in baskets has been Tumbling Tom. The red tastes pretty awful, but the yellow is edible. Neither are that great. I've grown a lot of micros, but none of them cascade well and make an attractive plant.

Terrenzo F1 actually did ok when I had it in a hanging basket. It is not as pretty as Tumbling Tom, but the fruit are larger and have tremendously better flavor.

Angora Treasures was my favorite micro from last year. It is super early, productive, and has good flavor.
