The tomatoes are growing under full sun and in rich soil with earl's hole method with blood meal, bone meal and epsom salt. I am always puzzled by the description of DAYS of varieties. Tomatoes are ranged from 50-120 days. I am assuming the days starts from transplanting not seeds. If you transplant a 8 inch tall plant, two weeks of transplant shock, then 1-2 month growing before flowering, need ~40 days from flower to a ripe fruit. So I need at least three monthes to harvest my first tomatoes. I started havest at the end of the May last year. I did get some bash champions in mid-April becuse I bought a $6 plant with flower on it already in March. When do you start to harvest tomatoes in Houston? What nursery has good selections in Houston now? I may drive there to get early planting.
