One of my favorites, too! Mine should be ripe in a week or so.

What type are they and where are you growing them?

LOL Mine are just going in. Traditionally in these parts it's the May long weekend for planting from seed, and "full moon in June" (ie, this weekend) is the folkloric guideline to avoiding a late frost. 

 

To put that into perspective, I was at my mother's place last week and there were frost warnings on Monday and Tuesday. Admittedly it's been a cool spring even by local standards, but still...it shows the "old wives" had learned from bitter experience.

I used to start tomatoes, herbs, and flowers from seed using a two tier grow light set up. My first cat liked to sleep on top of the top grow light fixture.    I sold all the growing stuff at a yard sale after I got Bryn Barishnikat  who I should have named Moose.  Imagine the mess greeting me early some  the morning if I had tried starting plants from seeds with Brynbarishniklutz around.  And it wouldn't even  be deliberate! So I switched to buying tomato plants and two years in a row I got early blight followed by squirrels and all the other plant diseases , and then late blight to finish off any plants that had survived. So now I just buy tomatoes at the farm market where they're currently carrying local hydroponically grown tomatoes which are quite nice.  I also have tomato plants growing out of the ventilation  slits on my composting bin.  BLT time is on the way.
