TYW finally set some for me. I've got 4 and lots of promising buds. TYW is my only yellow this year.

Tom,
Usually takes only 5-7 days for me and I've heard a lot of the same. I did plant 6 this year - had 5 come up in that time frame - but the other one took 9 days ! lol ~ No idea why that happened ~ I also have had other varieties come up headless, late, and my first ever "Stick-twin". Glad you have some plants up and growing Tom ! ~ Tom

Mine will go to ground in a week or ten days. I started them too early and they are pretty tall but very healthy. Two have made the trip to central Missouri last week where they are planted. The last two....yes two because the fifth seed germinated and grew up...will be in a Kansas garden after tomorrow. The farmed out children I will try to keep track of and I will continue to update as need arises.

And just to bring this full circle, that double fused is starting to ripen. It's hard to tell from this picture that this is only 2 tomatoes:
