Hey Sally,

You're lucky then. I'm in Calgary and just got one tomato starting
this week. I also started from seed in March. We had so much rain
here my plants which are usually a few feet high by now are barely a
foot and a half. I have a little green house which is the only reason
I have the tomato I do. The weather here has not been conducive to
growing anything but weeds and asperagus (which I've been eating for
awhile) So are your tomato plants inside/outside, using anything
special on them, anything you can help us less fortunate growers that
are going to have to wait until Sept to enjoy our first ripe one?

Yes way, we can.

I live in Toronto and I had my first ripe tomato on July 7( two days ago).
I started them from seed too.(in mid March , I believe. Normal time). And
this one isn't even advertised as being an early tomato( Bloody Butcher,
heritage variety). There is another one ready to be picked tomorrow. I
have also started picking the currant tomatoes( 2 so far). The weather has
been disgustingly hot but the tomatoes are loving it.

You should always state what part of the world or state you are in. For
instance i live in Canada and no way can we have red tomatoes that early.

Missed my goal by a couple of days this year, but still the week of July
4th. Sausalito won the race this year. I did pick a couple of big green
ones for my wife to fry up for herself. Not the biggest of course!

Lots of green ones and blooms so this year looks good, not like last
year.
