Think you can’t grow tomatoes because you have a short season or live in a cold climate? Good news: It’s entirely possible to grow tomatoes and pick your first ripe fruit in as little as 40 days!
That honor is a tie between Quedlinburger Frühe Liebe (an indeterminate type that matures in 40 days) and Sub-Arctic Plenty (sometimes marketed as Chilly Willie, a determinate type that matures in 42 days).
Of all the tomato types, Coldset is a prolific producer with superior cold tolerance. It germinates in lower temperatures than normal, can be directly seeded into a cool garden, and will grow as long as the soil temperature is at least 65°F.
