Winners for first tomatoes - Page 4

While I no longer grow early varieties or cherries, prefering larger slicers instead, I have to say I have had a green Liz Birt on for a couple weeks now.
Usually I find one of the Cowlicks or Lancaster County Pinks competing with Barlow Jap or Tarasenko6 as the first to show up.
Enjoy!

My first ripe tomato variety in 2011 was Stupice. Ditto in 2012: 101 days from seed to ripe fruits, which which were picked on June 22nd.

For the fun of it, I saved seeds from those and started them on August 2nd. Then on September 17th, I harvested the first ripe fruits from those plants, making just 76 days from seed sowing to ripe fruit! This is during the summer heat, of course.

A 90 day generation time is not too bad for tomatoes!
