Default First crops

Having already started taking veg from my tunnel i have in the past week started taking tomatoes from the greenhouse. The variety is Tigerella. This is the first time i have grown these but was wondering if they are prone to cropping an early bottom truss with the remainder cropping later as usual or have we all had a flying start? I have also started taking the odd Gardeners delight a month earlier than last year?

Whereabouts are you, bravo? I have a few fruits set on Gardeners Delight, but very small and green. Unheated greenhouse, and quite late sowing.

Dear Rustylady, I am in doncaster south yorkshire.My tigerella and gardeners delight were both set off at home in a heated propagator and removed to my greenhouse at first signs of germination the 1st week march. They were pricked out and subsequently planted into the cold greenhouse 4th week april.
To answer Snadgers question about my name"bravo2zero" it just a nickname i have at work ,the guys have a very vivid imagination .
