Pruden's Purple - 100 days from seed to ripe fruit

Marko · June 24, 2013

I still can't believe - this is the earliest large tomato I ever grew.
Plants were started on March 15 and were under 400 watt HPS light for two weeks. They were extremely fast growing and on April 11 I planted tomatoes in containers outside. I placed containers next to the south wall of house where they have sun all day and are protected from cold winds.
Four days ago I noticed two fruits were changing color and yesterday I picked first ripe fruit. Pruden's Purple will sure be my choice for eary tomatoes in next years!

I also have two PP plants in the ground, they have fruits but no signs of ripening yet.
