Recommendations for Early Tomatoes for Container

greenthumbomaha · December 28, 2014

I always grow Stupice, and last year discovered Matina for an early variety that I plant inground just before my last frost date. They were moderatley early despite a cold spring last year. I also start two plants in 3.5 gallon free buckets from the bakery that I bring in for the night until it stays well above freezing. Last year I tried Early Annie and Beaverlodge Slicer. Both produced but eventually died from a bad case of early blight. I din't find either remarkable taste wise.

Can you recommend an early flavorful tomato that won't grow too tall without topping off?
