I live in Albany, NY. I picked my first smallish red tomato, June
10th. Beat last years first tomato by 10 days. Since about the 25th of
June, I have been picking about 1 pound/day. The variety I am picking
is called "subartic". I have raised beds on the back of my house
facing south. I started them March 1 and then put them outdoors in a
coldframe on April 15th. I am also picking the same variety from open
field plants I also put out April 15th using Wall o Water. I should
mention that I am using black IRT plastic mulch throughout.

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.
