Agatha wins the race to ripeness: http://i.imgur.com/NuyzfIG.jpg

I just ate one, and it was very good. Agatha is my fourth variety of the year to ripen, behind a Bosky in the greenhouse, and one each of Anmore Dew Drops and Anmore Treasures outside. It is by far the best I have tasted so far this year. Texture and flavor are both great. I like it better than Gribovski from last year. The skin is not nearly as thick and the fruit are larger.

The bad news, which one can see from looking at that pic, is that my whiteflies are back. Curiously, they only seem to be on the Agatha, the first ripe fruit. Maybe that is the sweetest plant to eat right now. I'm going to spray Met52 tonight.
