Gardening for the People. The First Ripe Tomato of the 2012 Growing Season. The First Ripe Tomato of the 2012 Growing Season. 8230;is ‘Hahms Gelbe Topftomate.’. In a surprise upset, this pretty little dwarf plant beat out the usual top competitors, ‘Whippersnapper’. And ‘Ditmarsher.’. It’s a true winner as I started the seeds at the same time and planted them out together, too. I am amazed. Both of the other varieties have fruit that are VERY close to ripe so we should be enjoying them any day now. 1 Yes...
