| I grew Earliana in a self-watering container this year and it worked pretty well for me in Northern VA. It ripened a few days later than Sophie’s Choice (also in container) and was a tad smaller but produced longer as the weather heated up. Taste and texture were good to me, not as good as later reds, but better than my experiences with Early Girl and about as good as some other early red slicers. |

| Not a good slicer. Taste not up to most other tomatoes. Grandmother liked this one for canning in the 20's, the size of the fruit was good for that. |
