Recommended Dwarfs?

I just read a comment, in another thread, about how productive dwarfs are. This has really piqued my interest!
Can anyone recommend some tasty varieties for my next year's tomato growing list?

Thanks,
Linda

Linda, I think my favorite so far from the cross hemisphere dwarf project is Summertime Gold. It is a very meaty yellow tomato with big tomato taste. I am growing it in a 7 gal. Container. It grows to about four feet and produces a lot of 6-8 ounce tomatoes. There are a lot of new ones out that I haven't tried yet, but plan to next year.

Below I've linked toTania's superb website where you'll find a list of those varieties that have been released through 2013 for the Dwarf project . That's the clickable link.

If you click on the ones listed seperately you should find comments from others as well as pictures.

The link above also fromTania's website lists all the Dwarf varieties she knows of if you want to see a more complete list.

Hope that helps,

Carolyn, and note that seed sources are given for the Dwarf project ones as well as many on the larger list.

Thanks Jennie for your recommendation.

Carolyn thanks very much for the links which are great! I can see that Red Robin and Yellow Canary are listed. I've grown them as "container plants" for a windowsill as they fit into 10" pots.
