There's actually a cherry type tomato that grows like a wild weed in parts of FL. . . Perhaps aim for different varieties? I'm not an artificial fertilizer person nor a common red tomato person either so I can't help too much. Tomatoes aside, I think if you really looked into perennial vegetable gardening you'll find a lot of relatives to common greens that still taste great or better, yet ask for much less work to grow.
