Early tomatoes

My tomato plants look magnificent, but with our continued cool and cloudy weather they are being slow to set fruit. Nevertheless, we have started harvesting our first ripe tomatoes.  The winners for first ripe fruit this year are Flamme and Bloody Butcher.  Of the 60 plus varieties I am growing this year, there are a few that I am likely to strike off the list for next year.  At the top of the list is Argentina.  I am growing 4 plants of this variety, 3 in the garden and one in the green house.  All of the plants have the curious feature of having mostly brown and drying leaves on the lower half of the plant.
