Need something earlier

enchant · July 22, 2014

Over the past few years, I've been converting over from store-bought flats of tomatoes to growing from seeds. The results have been terrific. This year is the first that I've grown from all seeds, and I have a great looking crop coming in, but they're still all very green. I plant the seeds in mid-March and move them to the garden in mid-May.

I used to buy Early Girls in flats, and by now I'd be harvesting tomatoes. I planted "New Girls" from Johnny's Seeds, thinking they'd have a similar ripening schedule, but they're as green as everything else, and I'm getting impatient.

For future years, can anyone suggest a variety that ripens early so I have something to eat by now?
