This bed has few tomatoes. It is a new project. My DH made for me temporary greenhouse. Plastic would be removed in a month or so. It is early for NJ to plant out, but I want yearly tomatoes. Seeds were started on January 28th or later.
They are: Bear Creek (bl, RL)* Biyskaya Roza (p, RL) * Fred Limbaugh (p, PL) * Cherokee Chocolate (br, RL) Grandfather Ashlock (p, PL) Vorlon (bl, PL) Peg’s Round Orange (or, RL) Carbon Copy (?) * Girl Girl's Weird Thing (?) * Black Cherry (bl, RL) Carbon (bl, RL) *new to me Planted out on April 6th.

I was hoping to plant them in the middle of March, but the weather was not cooperating this year. We had snow coming down and 26 degrees overnight. Had to postpone...
That is why some are blooming already. I am crossing my fingers for the flowers not to drop and actually develop a fruit! Call me crazy. Bear Creek

I'm curious to see what Girl Girl's Weird Thing turns out to be! Where did you get that?

Thank you, Mark. And thanks for the seeds too. I am looking forward to see what experiments you will do this year. You have inspired that greenhouse.

This are my first daffodils this year. It really tells how late this year spring is.

What a nice looking bed! : ) How many plants do you figure you will be able to put into it?
I'm jealous seeing your Bear Creek so big and with big blooms too. I hope your new bed works out great for you. |

Thanks, Gardeneer. We are so close to NY city and water so the temps are warmer than in most of NJ. Different web sides puts us in zones 6b/7a. The earliest I have planted my tomatoes was April 20, 2013. Spring was very early that year. The recommended day to transplant tomatoes in NJ is Mother's day.
