Fourth Of July is my standard "go to" early tomato. This year, due to the extended cold spring; it hasn't performed well. The two plants only grew too one half their normal size and production has been very low. Production started ripening at the same time my full size tomatoes started ripening so they didn't work this year as "early" tomatoes.

I lost my Moravsky Div seedlings to successive frosts and freezes this spring. As I was packing up my other extras to give away, I noticed a new MD seedling popping up in the MD tray. I waited a few days and up potted it and finally planted it very late in the garden. It performed very well with tomatoes about the size of the Fourth Of July with much better taste than the FOJ. I'm considering replacing FOJ next year, as my dependable variety; with MD.
