Early Tomatoes
While I have grown tomatoes for years, I still consider myself a newbie at germinating and growing heirlooms or op varieties. My interest right now is heavy into the darker colored varieties and a few color variations. My goal is always to choose varieties with good production, but most important is a taste that I find satisfying.
Lately, I've found my curiosity wandering into the possibility of an OP tomato garden emphasizing a group of early season cultivars, mid season cultivars, and late season cultivars. For my 2011 garden, I intend planting Early Wonder, Matina, Siberian 2, and Harnas. Those are the varieties I have found consistently good comments about regarding earliness, production, and taste. I tried Stupice this past spring and I was under impressed. I think my problems with Stupice were more my fault than the fault of the cultivar, but I don't plan on trying it again in 2011. I may try it again in the future, but not right now. I'm curious if anyone else has a favorite, non cherry; early (55/65 days) cultivar. Ted |
