First BLT

MikeInCypress · May 11, 2014

Usually I have a BLT with Kimberley tomatoes around April 20. This year my first ripe tomato was a Cosmonaut Vulkov on May 10. The SunGolds and SunSugars look like they will be ready tomorrow when I usually have my first around April 18. The February Freeze and rainy weekends in early March put everything way behind. If the Houston weather stays like it has been for another 2 weeks I may have my best year ever!!!
Bush Goliath, Independence Day, & Clear Pink Early are coming on strong. Hope everyone has a great year!!!

Is your Independence Day the Livingstone PL variety? If yes, can I ask you to please post a picture?

Only 3 more weeks to first plants out here...

Many thanks,

Our temperatures are finally getting to the point of putting plants in the ground. A long time coming.

Hey Mike, on the fishing forums they say "if you don't have a picture it didn't happen!"

Show pics!
