I am an hour south of you in Delaware. I didn't plant any early varieties this year but have been enjoying a few SunGold's this past week. It won't be long now that the big varieties ripen up!

Thanks Tom...just saw your new pics...good looking toms. I should also be able to pick a few Sweet Million cherries today...forgot about them.
I forgot to mention that two of the people I sent home with seedlings this year have also picked some ripe ones...both have had fruit come off Silvery Fir Tree. One of the fellows..Tony who is in his seventies and been growing toms for decades...has never had a tomato by the 4th...he was sure surprised and pleased with SFT.

Mark,
Funny you meantion SFT - one of the ladies from Suz hospital, loves the taste and foliage of SFT so much that I had to write down how to save seed so she can grow it again next season! I thought the Mrs. was the only person who liked em ~ lol ~ Tom
