Which of your tomatoes have sprouted the fastest, this year?
My first (of ~104 kinds) was surprisingly my Galapagos Island (from fruits that survived several good freezes). Usually, if I remember, maybe over half the tomatoes sprout before Galapagos Island does. I hope this faster sprouting turns out to be a genetic change. Not only was it first, but lots of seeds sprouted in the cell too!
The Galapagos Island tomatoes from the 5-chamber fruits (which were harvested before any freezes happened, I believe) have not sprouted, yet. (They sprouted later in the same day, actually!)
Anyway, next came Juliet F2, followed by Blue Berries, and Esterina F1. I checked again, today, and more had sprouted, including Napoli, and some others.
Well, the order on those could be off, as I saw the first of them all at once (the order is based on how sprouted they were).
Lots of kinds sprouted today, apparently. I went and wrote them down. So, here's what's sprouted so, far on my first day finding sprouted tomatoes:
B.S.X.
Blue Berries
Brad's Aromic Grape
Cherokee Yellow Red Pear
Chocolate Chestnut
Cosmic Eclipse
Esterina F1
Eva
Galapagos Island (5-chamber)
Galapagos Island (antifreeze; this seems to be the first one to have sprouted)
Green Gables
Homestead
Isis Candy
Juliet F2
Kellogg's Beefsteak
Kellogg's Breakfast
Malinovoe Chudo
Mexican Yellow cross F3
Napoli
Near-multiflora Brandyboy cross F3
Ovita (from saved seeds)
Porter
Sausage
Wild Tiger
