Me too! I have 10 plants in and they are so very, very cold at night! I should really put plastic on the ground to absorb and keep the heat. It sure has been a chilly spring here in the NE!
Seven of the plants are heirlooms and one of them a purple ...we’ll see what happens. I can’t wait!

I have one plant of the Cherokee Purple ...........the first time I had them was last summer in the Carolinas and I was sooooo impressed with the taste. I'm pretty excited about this growing season [if it ever gets going, here in the NE]!

Yum, your picture is making me long for fresh from the garden tomatoes. It is officially hot here in the midwest. It took a while to warm up and stop the incessant rain, but my tomato plants are healthy, getting big, and most have yellow blossoms on them now. Hope it warms up for you soon. You must be getting quite itchy, if you’re used to summers in the Carolinas.

I’m in New England [had the heirloom ‘enlightment’ in North Carolina] and we have had a cool, wet spring. So far, it’s a slow go. I’ve had to cover the plants twice with frost warnings ... we came close to freezing a few nights.
I do have a plant with three good sized tomatoes on it already ...I bought it with blossoms ......I guess I cheated. ;-D
