Congrats! They look great! I am hoping for the first week of June, which will be about a month earlier than normal for me.

I had to delay setting out by almost three weeks this year so my first will be later than usual. I usually get some in May but most start in early June.

Congrats on having fresh tomatoes so early.

If we get them in late June we have done well.

OMG!!! I haven't even started my seeds yet >,< /sniff

Congrats !
My SG has about pea size tomatoes. But Silvery Fir Tree has some maybe 2 to 3 oz size.
I expect them to get ripe in 2 to 3 weeks. That will be an all time record for me.
I will post picture when I see gold or red color.

Thanks Jim .
Even in Atl, GA I used to get ripe tomatoes no sooner than in June. But then I used to plant out like April 12th.
Of course SG and SFT are real early varieties.

I just looked an hour ago. Our Sungold has its first flower. But the plant is only a foot tall.

Congrats

You are about 3 months to the day ahead of me, I usually get my first SG around July 4th and it is usually my first variety to ripen. Enjoy those gems!

Wow, your coin-flip to start early is paying off!
SGold is always my first along with CubanYellow usually by 1st of July...sometimes a
week earlier.

I have some blushing and and one little cherry ready for its bacon bit and microgreen.
Not bad...154 days from seed

A ten inch tall dFollette micro. (had to give it a working name)

I have been eating my Druzba and cherry tomatoes for several weeks now. That's the good thing about tomatoes in Florida. The bad thing is they all have to be grown in containers because of the nematode infested soil. I guess it's a trade off.

So far, have been enjoying Anmore Dewdrop, Yellow Canary, sophies choice, Maralinga, Bundaberg Rumball, Dwarf Sockeye Crimson, and unfortunately some critter beat me to Dwarf Wild Spudleaf. Also a cross that I am helping grow-Sweet Splash series. Besides a bit of humidity, the weather has been very cooperative.
I am just sitting hear eyeballing shadow Boxing. Almost, almost.....
