I am in Woburn MA. I did plant my seeds on valentines day and grew them in a side porch until they went into the garden on late May.

I picked my first tomatoes (in Minnesota) earlier this week, but they were small, yellow pear tomatoes, so maybe that does not count. Congratulations!

That's why I hurried to get my post up. I figured you'd find a ripe tomato when you got home from work. Oh, well. For less than 24 hours I had a ripe tomato before you did. It will probably never happen again. Yes, I knew it wouldn’t be long. That’s why I hurried to get my post up. I figured you’d find a ripe tomato when you got home from work. Oh, well.

I was pretty surprised that we got a ripe one so early. I’m glad you aren’t taking it too hard, Carol. I was pretty surprised that we got a ripe one so early.

However, this year's "contest" is not for the earliest tomato, but for the ugliest, and I will win that one!

It's a balancing act of letting them ripen on the vine long enough to turn red but not too long that the squirrels get to them first and take one bite from each one. I think today is the day. Oh my god! I have to buy bacon for BLTs! I’ll be picking my first one (or two) today too.
