| The reason why I grew this variety is beacuse I need an early tomato variety. I also grew in 2008, the same result. I started on March 24, planted to garden on June 9. It's not early tomato for me. They are very average size, I can say small, red, but not deep dark red, very acidic. Small plants, not a challenge to support the plants. One of the first varieties to die cause of late blight. Yield is very average for me, too.
since it's not early, I won't try again after all my seeds are over.
I bought the seeds from rareseeds.com |

| What a great variety to grow under a cloche; they behave well and don't try to engulfe the world. Even though the fruits are a bit small, they are very tasty. Can be started from locally obtained seed (Territorial) indoors in early Spring and set outside as soon as the weather stabilizes, usually mid-June. Produces abundantly, for quite a long season. Possibly the best Main Season Tomato for this climate, even tolerates our gravely Glacial Till soil very well. No signs of pests or disease in my garden: not even Late Blight which is very common around here; maybe the cloche reducesthe moisture on the lower foliage enough to prevent problems. Over all a really great little Tomato!! |

| I am going to give this another chance this year, but in 2007 these were not as early as they should have been. I am still looking for a solid non-hybrid early tomato for my garden. |

| If you like tart tomatoes this could be an early winner. I hope someone else rates this as well because this is purely a matter of my taste preferences. I'm not much for determinates but I grew this for 2 years in my Northern VA garden looking for an early slicer. It produces ok and has very manageable vines. The size was medium in my garden although I've seen it advertised as an early beefsteak. The taste was just too tart for me so I switched to Matina and Stupice which were just as early if not earlier and tasted better (IMHO). |
