The one tomato plant that has produced nicely, and early, is a hybrid that I grew from seedds from byrpee.

I've been eating red, ripe tomatoes from it beginning the last week of June and, while it took about 2 weeks off becase we were hyaving temps near 90, it's consisdtently keep me in 'mater sandwiches!

It's called "Fourth of July": indeterminant, very ea;y Maturity of D$(, grows 55" (4.6') tall and 20" wide, yields red 4 oz fruit (green shoulders are kinda usual but the Agri Extension office here explained the fruit WAWS ripe, just that the skin was the last to ripen...so go ahead and pick 'em: I did and they were right!! Tasty, juicy 'maters!!)

This PC crashed recently and I lost all the backed-up piocs, so here's a new one. I have several different kinds of plants; this was one mornings yield in late July. The "necklace" at the bottomis from my Fourth of July plant.
