Garden-savvy ladies
Is it reasonable of me to think that I could buy a tomato plant this week (at the farmer's market) and expect it to do well if I planted it right away? I have a spot for one or two, and would like to grow my own if it's not too late.
Re: Garden-savvy ladies
If you're at the farmer's market (or someplace like Flowerland), I would ask that question and request and honest answer.
My hunch is that it may be too late though. We could get a frost before most of your tomatoes come ripe.
However, there may be some tomato plants with small fruit (like cherry or romas) that you'll still have time to grow.
Disclaimer: I do not consider myself to be garden savvy. However, I have successfully grown three tomato plants. (Woot!)
Oh, hadn't thought about that... der.
When did you put yours in the ground?

I planted one in late May, and then one two weeks later in early June.
I think the general rule of thumb in this area is to plant tomatoes around Memorial Day.
Hopefully GRSweetpea checks into this thread. I bet she'd have good advice on this subject.
I am here! Here is my good advice: don't buy one. Come to my house. I'll give you 2 or 5. We planted all of our seedlings, and it's way too thick in our tomato jungle.
If the NE side is not on your route, we could meet up sometime this week.
I am not on the computer during the day. I will attempt a PM to you with my contact info. If you're interested.
If you're bent on buying one... you probably could buy a reasonable advanced plant and get it in in plenty of time before it's too late.
Checking PMs now...
