‘Sungold’ tomato

July 14, 2011 by Andrea Bellamy 2 Comments

‘Sungold’ tomato wins the Great First to Ripen Race of 2011. Growing alongside fellow hybrid ‘Super Bush’ as well as heirlooms ‘Black Krim’ and ‘Radiator Charlie’s Mortgage Lifter,’ this little orange cherry tomato easily beat out the pack in terms of earliness. Such an unexpected treat; who knew there had been enough sun to ripen anything?

Do you have ripe tomatoes? Which varieties are doing well for you?

    I’m going to try your Sungolds next year! My tomatoes, in Reno Nevada, have just set bloom/set teeny tiny fruit! I started from seed: Black Sea Man, Rainbow Heirloom, and Cherry. We are about a month behind in growing due to altitude. What are the best, quickest growing, tomato varieties? :)Thanks!

    Yay for you! I have none ripening yet :( I usually plant Gold Nugget which ripens first, but this year I traded for Golden Rave – a 2 bite yellow Roma. I think my tumblers will be first this year. enjoy your tom!
