I am starting siletz and seeing how things go, I'd be happy to have tomatoes by the first week of June. <BR/><BR/>Best of luck with your crop!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193521694438426371.post-89144738129065690162009-02-15T17:19:00.000-05:002009-02-15T17:19:00.000-05:00Hey Marc! this is going to be interesting because ...Hey Marc! this is going to be interesting because I planted a few varieties of tomatoes in identical modules on February 14th. I also planted sub arctic plenty! Let's see who gets there first?Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2193521694438426371.post-48220573707768802822009-02-15T10:12:00.000-05:002009-02-15T10:12:00.000-05:00When I was young my mom always had a race to get t...When I was young my mom always had a race to get the earliest tomato. We lived in zone 5. One year she had one May 15th. The next year all the water froze in her wall-o-waters and killed the plants. She also grows tomatoes and keep for a long time, so she can be eating fresh tomatoes from the pantry at New Year's. <BR/><BR/>I may give this a shot this year. I have a cold frame that can move from one raised bed to another. I think I could plant them inside there much earlier in the spring. If I used some early girl tomatoes, maybe I could get tomatoes in May.Chiot's Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086153621579437021noreply@blogger.com
