Shucks. And bummer that you are not getting a good supply of tomatoes, Lee Anne. I agree with wildflowers about Abe Lincoln...it's been a good producer for me, oftentimes getting first fruit about 60 days or so (although touted to be 75 day maturity.)

Smaller tomatoes often times produce more fruit per plant so maybe that is an area to pursue. I'd recommend Heidi.

The cherry types often produce like gangbusters but go with a reputable source for the true "heirloom" cherry. By the way, "Black Cherry" is often listed as an heirloom but it definitely is not, having not come into being until the late '90s and not released until the early 2000's. (Shame on those seed companies stating the misinformation just to make a sale.) It's a great producer though and is OP.

I sure hope you get a good harvest, at least enough to carry you through the winter!
