I had my first one about a week ago but something took a bite out of it.  Another one should be ready perhaps today if the varmits didn't get it.

I am just starting to get blossoms. Although I do have a few with just a couple marble size tomatoes.  I just plain live too far north.

I wonder if you could put in a semi-under ground greenhouse (start small) and have a longer season.  Might not be worth the effort, but it could also open up possibilities.

Getting quite a few green tomatos, had a grape tomato day before yesterday that was red. Usually not much before the middle of July before I get any ripe 'mators. Being this close to Lake Erie though, been many years I can pick tomato's that are just turning yellow around Halloween, and I have fresh red one's for Thanksgiving. What I don't get in the early summer, I make up for in the fall. gypsyman
