June 14: Expecting these to be my first of all of my outdoor large tomatoes to ripen. Midnight sun and true colours both set in the cold nights. Tundra and Polaris lagging behind this year, really hardly any of my other large fruited plants have any fruit yet. Many just starting to bloom.

They are beautiful, Karen. Soon you will taste them. I imaging you must be jumping inside.
It is quiet early for your area.
