Awesome Man! While this isn't my first year growing tomatoes, it is my first growing from seed and so early. I just discovered my first blossoms a few days ago and my last frost free date is May 1st...

Congrats :-)

I was thinking the same thing!

Your plants look great. You sure you're a first time grower?

sorry for such a delayed response here. i guess the garden has been keeping me busy! haha! not my first time gardening but my first time to grow tomatoes from seed. last year i tried to grow my first tomatoes. i put in two plants from the farmer's market called Celebrity. each one made about 3 tomatoes that tasted terrible and then died. i try not to count that experience with tomatoes! i've learned so much from this forum and hopefully things are going to go a little better this year

here's a bit of an update. thanks again for all the knowledge i've found here. keeping my fingers crossed:

looking good ! now comes the wait for those first blushers !

Randall · July 4, 2011

here's a couple of the first ones: cherokee purple, black krim, brandywine, aunt ruby's, some cherries and a pear! i was able to try a ripe black krim and it was awesome! i can't wait for more to get ripe

thanks and Happy Independence Day!
