Earliest ripe Maglia Rosa!

Labradors2 · June 27, 2019

Other varieties may have beaten her to the punch, but I have to say that when Maglia Rosa ripens, she does it in a big way with NUMEROUS ripe tomatoes all at once! I'm in love with Maglia Rosa, and will continue to grow her every year

.

For those who do not know, this is a compact variety, bred by Fred Hempel at Artisan Seeds. Some people grow it in a hanging basket, but I prefer to use a 3 gallon container, starting the seeds in mid-Feb to give me some early tomatoes - usually by mid-June, but everything is rather late this year.
