That's been pretty much my experience also. If I'm lucky, I have ripe
tomatoes on July 10th which I remember because it's my grandfather's
birthday. Yet, I've had people in my area claim to have ripe tomatoes
Memorial Day weekend . . . note that I've not seen them (the ripe
tomatoes).


Right.

I had ripe tomatoes Memorial Day - in one of the colder
areas of Zone 5.

Sounds impressive, doesn't it? Especially if I give no
details.

In actuality, they were growing on Red Robin miniature
tomatoes indoors.
