I have already eaten 4 ripe tomatoes as of June 13 from my tomato plants. I ate the first one May 25th.
However, those 4 were considered "unofficial" ripe tomatoes because I had brought them in the house to ripen. Because of the extremes in temperatures (from very hot to freezing) during May and early June, this has caused "blossom end rot" on the first tomatoes. The tomato looks great from the top, but has a black thick skin on the blossom end of the tomato.
They were still very tasty on the inside.
The rest of the tomatoes will be great because I've added Natural Guard Tomato food (organic) and egg shells to the soil.
As of today (June 13) there are 45 full sized tomatoes beginning to ripen. They are turning a lighter green and should be ripe within the next couple of weeks.
