For my Zone 10A, a month ago.

Tom

Hmmm, maybe I am a bit late then. The problem down here is that last year it didn't cool down enough to set fruit until mid-Nov. Then of course, it got so cold in December that the fruit that did set just hung on the vines green for a long time.

Well, I will just have to wait an see what happens.

My set dates are 9/1 - 9/15, I'd think yours would be 2-4 weeks behind me but only others down there could say for sure.

Someone on the tomato forum form Boyton Beach told me I started too early. So I will start some more seeds as soon as these germinate and see how they do.

Tom - just to be clear, when you say 2-4 weeks behind you, you mean 2-4 weeks earlier than you?

My first seedling of the season is Sungold. Germinated in 4 days. I soaked the seeds first.

Turns out that I am in zone 10a, not 10b, BTW. Those USDA Hardiness Zone maps online are hard to see but I found one I could magnify and now realize I am 10a.
