Nice list! I grew Blush and Sunrise Bumblebee last year--I'd be curious to hear if you like one better (both are very tasty!). I really enjoyed Green Doctors Frosted last year too, not as productive as most of the cherries I grew, but really enjoyed their flavor.

I like you choices. I am familiar with about 8 of them .And I will be growing 3 of them this year myself.
I see Japanese Black Truffle is your only dark tomato. I have grown it few times. Very tasty and nice looking fruits. I will grow ARGG for the first time and SunGold +Kellogs Breakfast for the second time. I have read very good reviews on Carmello. Have a bumper crop !

A very nice list indeed. Amish Gold grew a wide spread out plant that produced extremely well in a year that it rained 73+ inches here. I am curious to how well it grows and produces in Santa Monica, CA.

Looks like a great list! I too love cherries I can't decide between blush and sunrise bumblebee for what I like better myself, but this year I am growing Blush beside Maglia Rosa so it has a " sister" the same shape! Both are awesome to dry, or in salads. What is sunchecola like?? Is it related to sungold?

What did you think of Tati’s Wedding? I’ve been trying to locate seeds of that one.
