If I could only grow 1 plant in a pot it would be Cherokee Purple in a 40 gallon tub. For my tastes, I haven't found a better tomato. Once you start taking slices off of it, the remainder will keep in the refrigerator for at least a week.

How long do your tomato plants last before dying? I always have loads of unripe tomatoes that never ripen due to frost.
I tried Cherokee Purple but it didn't grow well here. They barely produced any fruit and the fruit was webbed, ribbed and cracked after rain (which let slugs and insects in).
