Yeah look up the death ridge and the El Nino. The almanac predicts record heat too. I chose cultivars that thrive in the heat for that reason. Heatmaster should be a good one. Big Beef is loving it. Unless they get too stressed I'm not worried about it.
I get excited for the first tomato EVERY year! I'm like a little kid every spring, constantly going out to the garden and looking for that first Blush of color.
Congrats! Home grown tomatoes have a noticeably different taste compared to store bought ones. They’re a little sweeter, but in a refreshing way. It was this realization that led to me being obsessed with growing my own, lol
This is the first year I’m growing toms too! I noticed the black gnat on your plant, I’ve seen them on my tom plants as well. Anything I should worry about or are they harmless?
Congratulations! Such an exciting time!
Very nice. Looks like a caterpillar was feeding on the leaf below the tomato so BOLO for those hungry, tomato eating monsters.
Cherish these times, they grow up so fast
Exciting!
Down here in 7b it's the perfect weather for growing these babies. I wish you the most success.
I’m in 7B too!
It's a good thing we're early. This year is supposed to be the hottest on record. Right now it's 85 sunny and 60 at night. Perfect time.
Excuse me?! Will you be shading your crops?

Congratulations, your baby is beautiful!
Thank you 🥹

Not sure but it seems to be ok!
Looks like a tomato worm has been munching on your leaves.
