  • Your Favourite EARLY Fruiting Tomato?

    I try my best not to sow any toms until March although a few always get sown in Feb in the hope of a few early toms. It's usually the small cherry toms that fruit first so I always sow a few Black cherry early on in the season.,.what is the first variety of tomato that fruits for you?

    Tumbler last year in baskets, started off at the same time as my Sungold, which didn't fruit till about a month later.

      A Gartenperle aka Garden Pearl, depending where you buy the seed
      Not the best tasting but always the first to fruit from an early sowing. (May not be the best but still lots better than supermarket toms )

      Black Cherry sown at the same time are always a bit later for me.

      This year I've also sown some Ildi as well as the Gartenperle, to see if that will be an early fruiter

        I've sown Maskotka, Latah, Losetto and Rambling Red Stripe. RRS did well last year and Maskotka fruited after a late August sowing. Hope it performs well from an early sowing too.

          Shirley, but I cheat and keep the tomatoes in the house over winter . I have a red tomato about 1.5 inches in diameter on my kitchen windowsill at the moment - I will be eating it soon, it just needs to ripen a little more.

          Last year of the outdoor varieties Totem (bush) beat Sungold by 2 days, being ripe on 24th and 26th July respectively having been sown on the same day, 4th April. These were both beaten hollow by the indoor grown, January sown Shirley, which produced its first red fruit on 26th May.

            I always sow a couple of Maskotka early for in hanging baskets, work really well.

            Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

            Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                Usually sow these ones earlier than my main toms at the end of Feb. Will be a bit later this year though as I'm away first week in March and need to be at home to look after my babies
