Chinese Purple 5 Jaune Flamme Bloody Butcher was the earliest for us. The taste was good in the cool weather and became great when the temps increased. And they produced in abundance. They were our fresh tomatoes for 3 or 4 weeks before the others and were earlier than any of our cherry tomato varieties. David |

I've been picking tomatoes for about a month from house #5, Matt's Wild Cherry was first, followed closely by Bloody Butcher,Tomatoberry Garden, and Sungold. After that came Fireworks, Sioux, and Cosmonaut Volkov.

We planted our tomatoes late into pots so we have no tomatoes up yet. From previous years, I think our earliest tomato were
Yagodka (earliest)
Stupice
Other very early tomatoes have been
Sun Sugar (f1 monsanto)
Mat's Wild
Bellstar (determinate)

The Chinese Purple seeds I have are not the right cultivar. I don't know what happened but the seeds I got in a trade called Chinese Purple look just like the Kumato tomato. I hope Syngenta doesn't sue me! Here are my first 2 "chinese purple?"  They are a beautiful brown with green shoulders. A real stunner but small. No new varieties ready for me today but the ones on my list. |
