What was your 1st tomato this year?
Mine was a Cherokee Purple. The second is going to be a Omar's Lebanese.

I just picked a Tasmanian chocolate, a costuolto genovese, and two Red beacons as my first non cherry tomatoes.

Opal's Homestead. I liked its flavor too. If you want seeds, PM me.

Mine was also a tiny Sungold. Next up will be Black Cherry. It's anyone's guess what the first big one will be.

First was Red Current by a couple weeks, today was the second; Carmelo. Haven't tasted it yet though, it's sitting on the kitchen counter.

Marsha, is Opal's Homestead different than regular Homestead? A Homestead from the garden center gave me my first ripe this year!

Utyonok on May 23 (41 DTM), Iditarod Red (49 DTM) on May 31. Now, I'm picking Plucky (Gold cherries, Dwarf Tomato Project) which started on June 19 (57 DTM). I eagerly await the rest, and eagerly await the end of this heat wave.
