In my area, "ripe tomtoes by the 4th of July" is a standard. This
morning, 4th of July, I picked and ate 2 ripe 'Jellybean' tomatoes.
Not absolutely sure of designation, as they just appear to be regular
1" cherry tomatoes to me. I bought the plant -- didn't raise from my
own seed. Anyhow, I have passed the test and can relax for the rest
of the season. :-)

SE Virginia -- Tidewater. I always thought it was USDA zone 8, but it
seems to have slid to 7-something. Official(!) last frost date is Apr.
15 and many here consider May 1 the appropriate date for setting out
tomatoes. It was a cold, wet spring -- the cold retarded growth and
plentiful rain seems to have spurred a lot of plants into extravagent
growth. These are, as I said, small tomatoes. But red-ripe on Friday,
so I qualify. :-)
