DTM...Very early year in Ohio

TZ-OH6 · August 2, 2010

I'm having a very early year here, with most of my 80-85 DTM varieties table ripe at 65 days or even sooner. The seedlings went out at normal size (about 10"-12") around Memorial May, seeds were started in early April. I think the trick was consistent warm sunny weather with a week in the 90s. Unfortunately, that caused a lot of flowers to abort on the 3-5th trusses but I think it speeded up the fruit already on the vine. I have deeply dug soil and I don't have to water so lack of rain hasn't hurt.

Anybody else having an early year?
