I have had some ripe Black Cherry tomatoes so far. I have a couple German Johnson's blushing. Isn't it funny how no matter what we grow, we are always rhapsodizing about the first ripe tomato?

No where near a first tomato here! Brother south of me tells me he has picked about 30 tomatoes. He's the one who puts them out in the garden before 4/1, surrounded by glass and kept warm by Christmas lights. He said he is picking Early Girls.

Same for me, Mumsey. No where close to a tomato to pick. Maybe by the end of July. Maybe.

A couple weeks ago I got my first ripe sunsugar, and since I have gotten several more ripening on Sweet Appertif and Purple Bumblebee. The only non-cherry variety I have ripening so far is Flamingo, which is a small tomato, but it grows in clusters, and was my first ripe tomato of any type last year.

What a PRETTY yellow tomato!
Mine are green, plentiful............but green!
So exciting to see tomatos.
This stuff NEVER gets old to me!
Which reminds me that we need to get a SLICE thread started.
Make sure you take a slice pic of that Kellogg Breakfast.

Congrats! Nice clean looking tomato! While pruning my tomatoes yesterday I discovered a ripe Cherokee Purple and a ripe Dana's Dusky Rose. Neither one as large as many others in the gardens but first color nonetheless. Enjoy! Camo

Mine are tiny maybe the size of my pinkie. If some are cherries how long before I put my pearly whites around one??? Otherwise I am thinking 3 weeks.
I do have a couple standard tomatoes about the size of a quarter...3-4 weeks I am guessing.
