Positive	jenhillphoto	On Feb 14, 2009, jenhillphoto from Danbury, CT (Zone 6a) wrote: I love sprite tomatoes. Very sweet little red grape type tomatoes born in abundance on small plants. I grew my one plant summer 2008 in an earth box with plenty room to spare. This would be a great patio plant, with no sacrifice on flavor. They have great firmness which gives you a nice snap when you pop them into your mouth and bite down.
