Heatwave? Fire? no problem.,
September 14, 2009
Submitted by Hilary
from Altadena
"Fourth of July is the only tomato to come out of a lengthy heatwave and 2 weeks of smoke and ash from a gigantic forest fire nearby not seeming to have suffered at all. The plants are still setting and bearing delicious fruit. All my other tomatoes look like stringy old chickens ready for the stew pot. Very impressed."

Poor results in 2009,
August 31, 2009
Submitted by Annapolitan1
from Annapolis, Maryland
"I grew 4th of July tomatoes from seed in 2008, and in 2009. Germination rate was near 100% both years. The first year I grew them, their production was fantastic: they began producing in early July, and continued heavy yields through October. They were the mainstay of my garden, and I kept neighbors and friends supplied with tomatoes all summer. I gave away many seedlings to friends who reported great results from them in their gardens, as well as in pots on the patio. They were small (a little larger than a golf ball), but because they had good flavor and were so prolific, they were well worth the garden space. This year, they have been extremely disappointing: cherry tomato-size, and very low yield. I don't know if it is the tomatoes, or weather conditions this year, but I'll be reluctant to invest my time in them again next year."

"In Minnesota, had red tomatoes by July 11th. Flavor is good, tastier than Early Girl. Tomatoes about the size of golf balls. Didn't produce as heavily as I thought they might."
