Default We love the pictures

Sorry about the pic size, I'll reduce them when I get more time.

This place is a wealth of tomato information! We love the pictures here so we thought we had better put some up. This is our first attempt at growing tomato's in the Northeast, critters have always been a deterrent for us. In this bed there is 1 Roma, 1 Big Boy, 2 Pink Brandywine and 2 Black Krim. The Roma and Big Boy were seedlings from Adams Fairacre Farms, a local store. The other 4 heirlooms are seedlings from Four Winds Farm, an organic farm near our home. The roma and big boy have been in the ground since the first week of May, the others were planted around the 18th of May.
  1. Black Krim flower
  2. Black-Krim
  3. Pink Brandywine (leggy I think)
  4. Roma (over 50 flowers or so)
  5. Big Boy (also a ton of flowers)

Gorgeous pictures of very healthy-looking plants! Guess being close to the ocean moderates your temps up there. We are definitely farther south here in se PA, but one week into May half of mine were killed or stunted by an "unpredicted until the last minute" frost. The ones I left in place have grown suckers and are coming back but are less than half the size of the better protected ones that were unaffected by the cold. There is a lot to learn here, and experience is a great teacher, as well!
Welcome, and thanks for posting your pics! I have to learn how to do that.

Our two leggy Pink Brandywine's have finally set some fruit. Seems to be a great year for us so far. Onions, garlic, peppers, cilantro and maters all doing well. Our raspberry bushes are going nuts this year too. We should get in the 20-30lb range of red and will use 5lb x 2 of them to flavor a couple homebrews.

First pic is the Black Krim from the flower above, first real big boy and some of the roma.

Very nice looking plants, and lucky you a full sized tomato is blushing! It can't be much longer for me.
