Early / ultra early varieties that taste great?

JosephElliott · June 3, 2019

Hi everyone. I am gardening in northern Canada zone 2 and need some extra early tomatoes that taste great. If any exist. I have a maximum of 85 frost free days most of which are not hot enough to keep tomatoes happy. I really love Kellogg’s breakfast, mallorcan winter, and a heirloom ox heart that I have for flavours but they are very long season and I only get a couple ripe fruit per plant per year.

I have tried a tomatoe developed by a reasonably local university and while it is fairly early at about 60 days it tastes like shoe leather lol.

There are plenty of 75 - 90 day tomatoes that are available and taste ok. Better than store bought cardboard but can’t compare with the flavour of late season indeterminates I currently grow.

Would like recommendations for an orange like Kellogg’s and a good red please.
