Good for you. What variety did you start? When is your last frost date?

Actually several. One is called German giant. They will produce 2.50 to 3 pound tomatoes. They are meaty with very few seeds with Great flavor. one called Flamingo which is one of the best tasting,1 t0 1.5 pounds or a little smaller. Omar's Lebanese these come from? you guessed it Lebanon, also great tasting. These are red/pink tomatoes.

Then I also started two yellow ones. Yellow Brandywine which taste better than the Pink Brandywine. Finally Dr. Wyche's which is a fantastic tasting large yellow that weighs 2 pounds plus.

Last official frost date is May 15th. I usually start sooner if I can get out into the garden. I plant almost all of my tomatoes in double 5 gallon buckets. That way I can put them out early. If there is a chance of frost I can bring them in.
