2009 Tomato Winner
Reviewed On:January 18, 2010
"4th of July was my Tomato Winner for 2009. It not only was a fast grower - tolerating early planting here in Minnesota - but it also was the biggest producer of the year. I started plants indoors in early March, and brought them outdoors into protected boxes May 1st. The plants were very hardy and thrived in my EarthBoxes witha soil heating cable for warmth. The plants produced the first Tomatoes by July 10th even with a cold spring in the Northland. Production was huge for both in-ground and those plants in boxes. Tomatos were the size of a small tennis ball - in bunches of 5 to 8, with each plant producing more than a hundred. Flavor was great with a blend of taste of both cherry and full size flavor. I'm just waiting to start this years group!!"

"I started these from seeds. They grew far better than any other tomatoes I have planted for the past 3 years running. They don't have the best flavor ever, but they are still very good, and superior to anything I could buy. They grew well in very poor soil. I gave away some plants which were successfully grown in pots. The plants had a very high yield and good germination rates, even when I used old seed. Pretty good tomato overall. "

Sweet and Early Producing.
Reviewed On:October 28, 2011
"This was our favorite variety of the year. The plants produced earlier than all of the other early varieties. Even the seeds directly sown in the ground had ripe fruits by the first week of August. The fruits were consistently 2 ounces despite what Burpee's description says. There was very little cracking or splitting. I recommend allowing the tomatoes to fully ripen on the vine as they seem much sweeter than if they are picked even one day before complete ripening. Due to the small size of the tomatoes I would not plant this as a main crop because so many of the tomatoes are needed to produce a large harvest. But they are wonderful if you want just enough tomato for one sandwich with no leftovers."

Great Early Variety
Reviewed On:October 9, 2011
"This is a fast growing, fast producing tomato. It has the benefits of the Bloody Butcher heirloom without the drawbacks. It has good disease resistance and a high fruit set rate. The fruits are smaller than almost all other non-cherry varieties. However, small fruit size and high set rate allow it to battle heatwaves much better than other varieties. I don't mind small tomatoes as you can always just use more for whatever task. The flavor is excellent on these: on the tangy side. I think these are a good compliment to a large beefsteak variety."

Early, Prolific, and Healthy
Reviewed On:March 13, 2011
"We planted these in the ground and in EarthBox containers. They produced lots of small-medium tomatoes which were quite juicy, good for sandwiches and salads but a little wet for sauces. They tolerated a very hot and dry summer, and the plants stayed healthy and robust well into early fall. And yes, we absolutely had ripe tomatoes by July 4th!
I wasn't as impressed by their flavor. They didn't taste bad, just not as yummy as some of the other tomatoes we were growing in the same place."

the best early tomato
Reviewed On:February 13, 2011
"I can't remeber when I started growing these but they are by far the best early tomato that I've grown in the past 10 years. They're the first to come on, in late June, and they're the last tomato plant still producing clear into the first frost in early to mid October. They're also the best size to put in the lunch box and they taste good to boot!!"

High altitude winner
Reviewed On:February 8, 2011
"I live at 6500 feet where the nights are cool all summer long, making for a difficult tomato environment. This one really produced for me, giving me over 600 tomatoes from a single seed packet. The flavor was intense, a real attention getter and the ones we couldn't eat canned up nicely. For me this has become the only high altitude tomato other than cherries."

"I planted these for the first time last year. This is definitely the best tasting early tomato I have tried. They did not ripen particularly early but I suspect that was due to the flooding and lack of sun. We will see how they do this year."

Early and sweet
Reviewed On:January 16, 2011
"I started my plants indoors under lights the middle of February. I set the plants in the garden under glass March 22nd. I had ripe fruit June 2nd. A good month earlier than any other tomato I have grown here in southern Kansas. They ripen very quickly all season long. They are small but they have a good sweet flavor. My friends also enjoyed them. I will raise them every season until someone can show me a tomato that will ripen earlier than these. They produced fruit right up to frost."

These were small tomatoes, bigger than a golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball. They tasted good, though they were closer to super-cherries than they were to slicing tomatoes."

4th Of July
Reviewed On:July 4, 2010
"Started seeds 10 weeks before Mothers Day, used Wall O Water when setting 1 of 2 plants 4 weeks prior to Mother's Day while the other was planted on Mother's Day. Picked first tomato June 10. Prolific producer, within a week pulling 4-6 a day, By July 4 getting anywhere 6 to 10 a day from 7'+ very bushy plants. Disappointed with size, very few (2 so far) of 4 oz. or even close. Pretty consistent 2-3 oz. (1 1/2"-2" diameter). Pretty decent taste, certainly better than store-bought and many other early season varieties I've tried. Small size made it a tad difficult to slice for sandwiches but worth the effort. Will grow again primarily due to my impatience with waiting for Big Beef, Brandyboy, Burger Hybrid and Celebrity to come in."

"I will admit to flirting over the years with other tomatoes that claim to be early, but I always seem to return to this one. I would love if 4th of July tomatoes were a little larger and with a little more flavor, but they are good and dependable and the plants never disappoint. And yes, even in Connecticut, I usually have 2 to 3 tomatoes ripe by Independence Day."

This tomato is a keeper
Reviewed On:January 15, 2010
"I am a tomato fanatic. Ordered the Fourth of July last spring for the first time. I was very pleased with the production and disease resistance. And these tomatoes (for me) had the perfect balance in taste. Not overly sweet or acidic. I grew them upside down in tomato baskets and they did fantastic. And the fact that they are small doesn't bother me. I was looking for a great tasting early season tomato and I found it."

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."
