Zone 5b! These are amish paste. I have rainbow blends with some around this size and 2 cherry tomato plants that are setting fruit as well! This is the most fun. I just obsessively watch them.

6a. I finally have flowers but I think my plants are stressed by the high temps we’ve been having. I think my plants going to drop the blossoms. I had tomatoes by this time last year. Yours look great so far!

Yay!! I have my first (ever!!) tomato that _just_ started to blush! The rest of the plants are shortly behind it, and all but my Cherokee purple have fruit on them!

My costoluto Florentino just hit 8’ with plenty of toms.

Zone 7b in Brooklyn. Already ate two ripe Cherokee purples & 6 more should be fully ripe in another 2 days. So good to have homegrown tomatoes around again!

Also 6b and also got my plants in later than normal. I’ve pulled one paste, have a lemon boy that should start to lemon soon, and about 10 indigo rose cherries growing. I’ve got a bunch of flowers on my black krim, German Johnson, and purple bumblebee but they’re taking their time setting fruit. The heat has been bad. But they’re growing really well.
Zone 9b, south of England, and the first truss of cherries from my mum’s home seed are growing at pace. My sungolds are also at a similar stage. Genuinely impressed how my mum’s cherries are performing so far with such oddly small leaves.

Tomatoes definitely felt late to turn this year but the cherry’s started coming in last week and I have my first 2 black krim come inside as soon as they blushed since they had some serious cracking from all the rain & heat here in SE PA zone 7b.
I’ve gotten exactly 4 ripe cherry tomatoes so far. Im still waiting on the other 4 cherry t plants to ripen and then all my Marglobes. Im so excited for your fruits!!
I’m located in northern Ontario and I have been eating tomatoes for a week or more. Started them indoors at the beginning of April in a tent with lights and a heater.

6b as well. We also put ours out early June so we are just now getting some breaking. Just harvested my very first yesterday (Dwarf Dainty Isobel).

Also 6b! Juliette cherries. At least I think. Larger than previous years.
We planted mid-May. We had some flowers and babies even then.
Plants really started to explode 2 weeks ago. Had about 10 sungolds the other day that were ready to pick.
Every plant has dozens of flowers and babies. So we’re on the brink of having endless tomatoes from now until first frost somewhere usually in October. The best season, when I can eat vine-ripe tomatoes every single day between now and then.
They are so cute when they are that little. We have some that size near the top and some bunches like this along the bottom. I am shocked, with the 90° temps that any new fruit is setting.

Flowering and surviving 30°c heat in the UK. Only goal this year is to get one plant to produce a tomato.

I planted 8 Cherokee Purple and the first ones came in this past week. Except, I’m quite sure the oddball in the mix is an imposter…
There are some huge ones out on my plants. So excited for the next rounds to ripen 🤤
Zone 5b/6a and I also just got to this stage with my beefsteaks.

10b. Started pulling some of mine out this week. I have a few super late planted ones, so I’m hoping for a second round.
We’re getting there! I’m in zone 8a and have had one dark cherry so far. Three out of four of my plants are Cherokee Purples.
