Cathy, what varieties you sell as plants is going to be dependent on the area where you are and how much they know about heirloom tomatoes.

If they aren't that familiar with them then it's best to start out with just some good red and pink varieties and get them accustomed to being weaned away from store bought ones which are mostly reds.

So once you tell me about your area and the degree of expertise/knowledge about heirloom tomatoes in your area I'd be glad to make some suggestions.

You say you want sweet ones. But is that what your customers might want? I think those are some of the things you have to think about as you develop your list of possible varieties.

And I do think if you're going to sell plants you need at least 10-15 different varieties so there's adequate choice involved.
