Which variety of tomato is your earliest?

[GrannieAnnie]

I keep trying to beat my previous year's success for an early tom.
Two years in a row now it has been "Polfast", a Polish tomato which produces in June and now followed by "Black Krim" a Russian tomato that tastes much sweeter than Polfast.
My Pruden's Purple is still green as is Tigerella. Brandywine is a late  variety so am not expecting it.

Has anyone tried toms created  for the cold in Ontario Canada? Am thinking maybe next year to try one.

Mine is nearly always Latah.

Mine is nearly always Latah.

Is that a joke?  8)

Mine is nearly always Latah.

LOL!!! :D Good one!

[amphibian]

I see the unintentional joke.

However, my earliest tomato is nearly always the variety called Latah, quickly followed by Washington Cherry.

My third place this year went to Black Cherry, but too put it all in perspective I have eaten just six tomatoes off twenty plants and I have already had two ripe, outdoor grown, sweet peppers and two tomatillos.

Isn't that funny, when you think of all the thought people put into naming plants, that they'd choose a word easily confused with just what one does not want in their tomatoes?

Whippersnapper and Gartenpearle, but only because I can keep the baskets in the big greenhouse...  ;D

Bloody Butcher is always the earliest - mid/late June in an unheated greenhouse - followed by Ildi. Shirley has only just started.

[BarriedaleNick]

Harbinger and Sungold for the last few years but managed to kill them this year!  So Cherrolla.

tigerella, then golden sunrise followed closely by sundance and all the cherries I was given so, no name  ;D

[northener]

Gardners Delight for me not over impressed with the taste though.

[tonybloke]

whippersnapper for me! followed closely by gardeners delight, which, if grown organically with extra seaweed and comfrey juice, have a superb flavour IMHO ;)

[saddad]

Just been and picked another dozen for salad with tea...  :)

[Sinbad7]

Red Alert, have been picking them for a couple of weeks now.

Grown outside.

[angle shades]

 :) red tumbling tom, picked some last week and yesterday, grown in hanging baskets outside on my lottie shed / shades x

[realfood]

Always sungold.

Still no red ones yet, Sweet Olive looks the most likely, I'm not sure my new policy of letting the sideshoots grow after the first truss is helping! ::)

Is that outdoors? My Tigerella is loaded with fruit, but no sign of turning at all.

[manicscousers]

no, it's indoors, sowed end of january, planted in march under a glass cloche in the poly   :)

[thifasmom]

two of the new varieties i have grown this year have been 'Galina' and 'Broad Ripple Yellow Current' two yellow cherry tomatoes they have both been the first to set fruit and ripen, we enjoyed them yesterday, both grown outside.

i have never had outdoor tomatoes ready in July before so will definitely repeat them next year.
