You want to do some reading. Cherry tomatoes, off the top of my head, Sweet 100 is a popular cherry tomato. But it is an indeterminate variety-a huge plant. If, I recall there was one called tom thumb which has heavy stems and stays small. It does not produce that much fruit. Most herbs are basically weeds. Poor soil, stress from little water gives you the best flavor. You will probably do best buying seeds. Mint does well in pots and it is great in iced tea.
