Love tomatoes but a bit afraid to start growing them? Cherry tomatoes are an easy introduction to the delicious world of tomatoes. They're easier because you don't have to prune them and you don't have to worry about supporting the weight of a huge, heavy tomato plant laden with large fruit.
I've had a lot of success growing cherry tomatoes with large wire cages and very little pruning - I just remove some of the suckers at the bottom early on, then let them go. Each year we've had more than we can eat. That isn't a problem, either - cut them in half and dehydrate them for a delectable taste of summer sun in the middle of winter.
