As you may already know, I have a goal to harvest ripe tomatoes from my Early Girl tomato plants by June 24th. I haven’t done all that I planned to do in order to help that occur, but the tomatoes are doing pretty well.

There are a dozen or so tomatoes coming on, and the bigger ones are a bit larger than a golf ball. I wrote extensivly about this in some previous posts. If you want to get caught up you can read them HERE and

Ripe tomatoes in June may not sound very impressive to you southern gardeners, but it is here in northern Kentucky. To put it in the proper perspective, I picked my first ripe tomato last year on August 5th.

I didn’t put down the black plastic that I planned to, so I hope these cool nights are not slowing down the tomato growth too much.

Keep your fingers crossed for me! I’ll let you know how they did in about six weeks!
