I picked some Black Krims, Cherokee Purples, and a Kosovo to finish ripening on the counter. But it does seem that the maters around here are a bit slow to ripen this year. I am in NW Chester County, PA.

South Jersey.

First one to be picked tomorrow ! A small round Yellow Streak.

Lots of greenies, 78 varieties to go. Looks like a good year. Woo-hoo !!!!!!!!!

Have been picking the early girls since June 23. The cherries have started coming in since first week of July.
Picked a bunch of Black Krims, Danko, KBX and JD's special C-tex last week.

Greensingh-When did you transplant?

The early girl and JD's on April 1 and the rest two weeks later.
I had them under row cover and low tunnel.

Hi
I have picked about ten tomatoes so far. They where of different varieties. My cherry are just starting to ripen. Taste is outstanding. Had a late start this year in Zone 5 PA

I"m in Nassau County and today spotted the first ripening fruits--Ceylon. There were a few with BER that ripened this week on the mulch pile where I threw them in disgust, but for the plants it's definitely Ceylon with the earliest fruits this year.

I'v had ripe tomatoes since June 25. Started inside under lights. I have picked at least 2 doz. Will pick another dozen to take to my sisters today. Very happy this year. I got some good advice from dig dirt and other members early on. Thanks to them.

Delaware. Planted out April 25. About 18 varieties have ripened and 4 still waiting for first. I have picked hundreds of tomatoes so far....

Planted out mid April. Started picking tomatoes right before July 4th weekend. The first ones ripe were the Opalkas, Super Sweet 100s, and Rutgers.

I have a counter full of tomatoes at the moment and have picked at least a half dozen or so of each variety to date. Highest yeilds so far go to Eva Purple Ball, NAR, and tied for 3rd place is Rutgers and Opalka.

Haven't picked any of the big pinks yet - Sudduths Brandywine, Marianna's Peace, etc., but I have gotten a few very large (1.5 pound) Reif Red Hearts. Overall, things are progressing well, could be better, but not too shabby considering how awful the weather has been (and is going to be in the next few days).

Planted out mid April. Started picking cherry tomatoes right after July 4th weekend. Hope to pick the big beefs in about a week or two.

I'm in Pennsauken, NJ, and so far we have picked about 75pds of ripe Big Mama's (paste tomato)off of 16 plants and only about 15pds of Porterhouse (beefsteak) off of 4 plants. The beefsteaks have only started ripening in the last week or so. Started all my seedlings indoors on March 7th and transplanted April 30th.

I'm in Suffolk County, NY...and just yesterday started picking my sungolds.

I'm on the edge of Philly and started picking hybrid cherries on 6/27, followed by Bloody Butcher 7/1 (always early) and Garden Peach. I have a huge crop (have to make sauce) of a small black pear shaped tomato (lost the name tag and don't have a clue what it is). But, unfortunately, most of my crop tastes very bland so far.
