About 4' - 5' in the high tunnel and 2' outside. High tunnel tomatoes should start to ripen in about 3 weeks. My outside plants have barely begun to bloom.

That's a very cool grow log. How many do you have of each?
Thanks. I just have one container of each variety, except for Sweetie (I'm growing it from two sources; so, two cells for that one).

I want to repot some of the extras instead of thinning those, so they'll grow big and I can give them away. So, I better do that soon. Fortunately, even when inhibited in size by other tomatoes, once separated and they have more room, they grow to their regular size for their age pretty fast, it seems (but not by growing more leaves, particularly; the existing stems and leaves get bigger).

My first plants were set out on the 21st of March and range from 3 to 6 ft and are still a few weeks from me seeing any ripe ones.

About 6 feet. At this point Dad tops his off. I just let mine ramble along wherever they want to go.

I have no idea I bought them way late and wasn't even going to grow a tomato plant this year.
One of them is a bush.

About 10 inches. Galina cherry will probably be the first to bloom today or tomorrow. The bigger ones still have at 10 days or so to flowering.

We don't even have tomatoes out in the garden yet. I have 100 planted in the high tunnel that ate close to 1 ft tall at this point, but that is it. last night was 42. too cold for tomatoes.
