Default Why plant tomatoes 6-8 weeks in advance?

Where are you? Volunteer tomato seedlings are just starting to come up
here in southern Minnesota. If I let them go, they will try to catch up
with the plants I set out. I would get a small crop off of them, even up
here with such a short season.


I am in northern Ontario, Canada. I did plant some Stupice in the hope I will
be able to get a few tomatoes from it before first frost. Stupice ripens early,
so maybe.

I am about 100 kilometres (60 miles) north-east of Toronto.

I have decided to wait until next year to try anything out of the
ordinary. The friend I mentioned in an earlier message has taken me
under his wing and will help with building a small shelf unit with
gro-bulbs for an early start on the season next year. This is the
same friend who introduced me to other types of tomatoes and has
offered to give me a few of his unusual heirlooms to whet my appetite
for such things.
