Default Show(off) your first flowers/baby tomatoes of 2017

Sun Gold planted mid Feb. Sun Gold may not have a great pedigree, but you cannot fail with this plant.

Wow !, SpookyShoe.
That is so wonderful to see actual tomato growing in the garden, in TX, this time of the year.
I have planted 12 pioneers so far. It will be weeks to see some of them flower.

BTW: This is a nice thread. After showing (off) seedlings/plant comes flowers and fruits.
My plants . no flowers yet.

Those 8 in the picture are one of each :
Brandy Boy, Brandywine Sudduth, Ananas Noire, Hibilly, Mortgage Lifter, Brown Heart , mystery Black, and Big Rainbow.

Those are some of my favorites. I have back ups of them just in case I lose them.
The seeds were started on 1/19/17. that is almost 7 weeks ago.

This is cherokee green this tomato for me pumps them out. It produces more tornadoes than any other plant with Prudence purple coming in second. And for me the taste is off the charts sweet and a little spicy you just can't beat it

Cheryl, how large is the pot you have the dwarf in? How tall will the dwarf grow?

Its a 5 gallon pickle bucket. I'm expecting it to be one of the bigger dwarfs-maybe 5 feet or so.

Indoor dwarf multiflora cherries. Experimental seed from Dan F. Just about to break colour I think (hope)
Should be black cherries but I don't care what colour they are, can't wait to taste one!
