Lucky you! My ‘bumper crop’ won’t be ready until late July, early August.

SO worth the wait, though! :)

I raised my tomatoes from seed (around March I think). Planted in the ground May 6. The tomatoes have grown to a handful size but have sorta stopped growing bigger. I’ve been using light fertilizer every two weeks. I’d hate to kill them now but may go to a higher dose in a few days. I expect to pick by July 15. I’d like them sooner but . .

Something people can do for fun while keeping their normal high-quality garden and planting routine is play with a couple of Early girl seeds and the early planting tricks to see how quickly they can get their first tomato.

There are far better tomatoes than Early Girl but playing the first-of-season game can be fun and tasty while waiting for the rest of the better tomatoes to catch up.
