They are ready now. They should have ripe tomatoes by Flag Day if not before. You will need to plant them in a container and be prepared to bring it inside a couple of times in the next month, then cover it a couple of times in May if a frost is forecast. But it is worth it - 10-12 ounce, thin skinned tomatoes that will produce even in cooler weather. Almost seedless and just enough juice to make them tasty. I have only 14 that are not spoken for this week but will have another 18 next week. Only $2.50 each, in a 3" container.

Let me know if you are interested.

I have some tomato seeds that I started early. They are Siletz (you can do a google search about them) that will be ready to sell in about a month. These toms are suppose to take from 55-75 days to produce ripe fruit. If you have a 5-gallon container you can plant them in, and are willing to either cover them or bring them inside when the temps are too low, you could be eating vine-ripened, home grown tomatoes by Flag Day.

If you are interested, let me know. I only have about 50 plants, presuming they all survive during the next month.
