Spitters

I think it is interesting that many folks find both Stupice and Early Wonder to be spitters. Since both are "early" varieties, it could be true that it simply takes time for the fruit of the vine to develop flavor. I grow Fourth Of July as an early variety (55 days) and the first fruits don't have much flavor. As the season progress's and production increases and average hours of sunlight increases along with average ambient temps; the tomato flavors of my early varieties improve. I'm wondering if it may be unreasonable to expect truly early varieties to also have good taste.

A couple of years ago, "one of the earls" grew an early variety named Harnas. He reported it to be the earliest producer in his huge planting that year with medium sized fruit. He also reported the fruit to have excellent flavor comparable to longer season varieties. I'm growing it this year and I think it will be the earliest producer in my garden. I'm really anxious to taste it for comparison with other early varieties.
