My earliest (and most plentiful full-size tomato) is Bush Early Girl. An incredibly bushy 18" plant. It's very bushy habit is actually a detriment since many of the tomatoes are buried in the dense foliage, and there are so many, they are difficult to pick. Tasty, but certainly not delicious. Healthy, but so are all my plants thus far. No Septoria... yet, and I think that is from our really dry period with no rain for about 5 weeks. I've only got seven plants this summer, but they are all doing very well. (6 plants in EarthBoxes and one grape tomato in a 15 gal. grow bag.)
Patio Choice Yellow is again a standout. 3 ft tall, with probably 200+ large cherry toms. These are really good. Not Sungold good, but very, very good. They are typically 1" and have very little cracking. First ones were picked June 28. Going downhill now, but it's been a excellent harvest from them. This has been a very good year!
