Late Start to the ripening season.

MikeInCypress · April 18, 2007

I have been growing tom's here in Cypress since 1999 and I always have ripe cherries or Kimberlys by APril 18. This year it looks like they will all be at least 2 weeks late. And the leaders are Victorian Dwarf, Extreme Dwarf, Aunt Ruby's Cherry, and Sungold. Juliet has set as has Kimberly but they are only dime sized.

The good thing is that the Bigger Varieties like Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Red Barn and BW OTV . are setting as well.

I always set out plants in the 21 days from Feb 22 to March 15 and I did so this year.

I guess I am being affected by the coming Ice Age
