Subject-Verb Agreement - was/were

A bag of carrots and half a tomato "was/were" sitting on the kitchen counter.



A bag of carrots and half a tomato was sitting on the kitchen counter. Is this correct?



I was informed that the main subject is "bag," so I should be using the singular verb. Also, is "of carrots and half a tomato" the prepositional phrase? or is it just "of carrots"? Is this correct as well? Please advise.
