My first tomato of the season is just about ready to pick. Somehow it seems the first tomatoes of the season seem to taste the best. Perhaps it is just because we have waited so long to have one. :rolleyes:

Oh, Jackb- I want to like you, I really do! But, you make it so difficult :lol: Well, at least I have a few flowers on my tomato plants! That is surely a beautiful tomato...

Lesa,
Perhaps if you did not procrastinate early in the year you would have something more than flowers. ;) Seriously, most of my neighbors in New York are just getting flowers. Anyway, Marshall sure has been quiet lately.

Jack- do you plant them outdoors too? Are they as sweet as outdoors? The ones I have grown indoors were not quite as good. Did you use seed for indoor growing?

Yes, I plant some outdoors, but even though the seeds were started on the same day the outdoor plants are small with small green fruit. It does stretch out the harvest though, with early tomatoes and some coming later. Actually, I find no difference in taste, however, the greenhouse tomatoes ripen much more evenly than the garden tomatoes. The difference is most likely heat. Our spring in New York was miserable to say the least. Even on cloudy days the greenhouse is much warmer than outdoors.
