Thanks for note about your Flavor Bomb grow out. I'm now tempted to make a change. The last thing I want is a waste of a valuable tomato plant slot with something that is inedible. A few years ago we grew out NatureSweet Sunbursts and they are OP--tasty, very productive yellow cherries on huge, healthy PL plants, I grew them for a couple seasons and saved seed.

I do wonder if that means Flavor Bombs are indeed F1. They do have very long shelf life, even at the fully ripe stage. But I like them better than the mixed Sunset's cherry tomatoes Wild Wonders. I'd consider Flavor Bombs my favorite store cherry tomato. Oh decisions, decisions, my list of things I'd like to grow is long enough maybe I swap it with something and try to squeeze the Flavor Bomb into a pot and keep it heavily pruned just to see what comes of it.
