First ripe tomatoes of 2017 - Page 2

Gardeneer · April 15, 2017

It has been close to 3 months since I sowed my first batch of seed ( actually 85 days ).
Very few varieties will give you the first ripe tomato in 85 to 100 days.
In my garden the possible winner will be SFT. Sun Gold will probably come in second. I guess Stupice will earn the third place.

I will take /post pictures when I see a color break.
Other than SPOOKY , anybody else seeing the color ( not green, of course ) ?

I have two Early Girl plants, each with 3-4 fruit set- but a few weeks away from ripening.

All of my other plants are just now starting to flower, so it will be a while!

Good to know that you have fruits.
I sowed and planted out much sooner than you did.
My Sungold looks like a flowering plant w/so many flowers on it.

I would like to grow Sungold someday- perhaps next year!
