Why plant tomatoes 6-8 weeks in advance?

rec.gardens.edible: 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. -- Gardening Zones Canada Zone 5a United States Zone 3a Near Ottawa, Ontario |

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. |
