Can’t wait for that ripe summer cherry tomato to pop in your mouth? ‘Early Bird’s got you! This cold-tolerant seed can be sown directly outdoors—no indoor sowing or transplanting to do. In about 75 days after seedlings emerge, you’ll be harvesting huge flocks of sweet, sun-warmed deliciousness that continues all summer into early fall. Hundreds of “early birds” perch at your summer garden parties and are the last to leave.
