Summary: Sweet 100

I don't know how to change the acidity of tomatoes, and I seem
to recall that that is one of the genetic characteristics - i.e.,
you need to pick a less acidic strain to grow.  After growing
Sweet 100's for the first time 8 years ago, it's the only cherry
tomato I bother with - scrumptious, sweet, low acidity, extremely
prolific throughout the season, and very tolerant of erratic
watering, morning fogs, and wide temperature ranges.  It's a bit
late for this season, but you might want to try some next year.
Several seed companies carry them; I got mine from Park.
