  • Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Aug 25, 2014 9:21 PM concerning plant:
    Glacier is one of those extra early varieties for early fruit production. Indeed, it did turn out to be especially and surprisingly early. I had ripe fruits in mid-June. That is simply unheard of and about a month earlier than I normally might get a ripe tomato or two, and the flavor was not bad for such an early tomato.

    Unfortunately, the Glacier fruit was hardly much larger than a cherry tomato.
