Default First tomato of the year....Bloody Butcher

Yes, as usual, Bloody Butcher is off to the races, long before any of the other "early varieties" such as 50 day BuckBee.

Will have to try a Bloody Butcher too. Earlier than Stupice? Just ate my first Stupice of the year this am....90 days from seed!

I have grown both Bloody Butcher as well as Stupice, but prefer Matina to the latter, and Stupice to BB.

And I can update Tanias info to say that Sahin Seeds was sold to another company, and no,this was not one bred by Tom Wagner.

Thanks, Caroline. I had never heard of Matina, but I do like Bloody Butcher for its hardiness and volume of output. I will try Matina next year.

I have grown Stupice, Bloody Butcher and Matina , all in the same season.
Bloody Butcher was the first in my garden, about the same time as Siletz.
Then came Stupice. Matina was way behind.

I consider BB to be superior to Stupice, and Matina as good, but slightly later, and a bit different. Interesting how taste buds rate tomatoes from one person to the next.

Scott, when do you plant your tomatoes out? I'm in Atlanta too and I can't imagine having tomatoes already. Sounds like I need to try some of these!

I start germination on 31 Dec, and I plant out the seedlings in last week of March. The mild spring has hastened the tomatoes this year.
