Late Toms

13 years ago

The Bonnie Delivery guy says lots of locals plant late tomatoes now. Do any of you guys plant out this late?

I just pulled all of mine because the squirrels have eaten every single one!!!!!! :)

Typically, my tomato varieties are still producing till frost, so I haven't tried planting this late. Haven't needed to.

Maybe some of the other folks on this forum will know!

I plant tomatoes around mid-August and depending on the weather they ripen around mid-October. Also it depends on the variety. Try to plant the fast maturing ones such as Early Girl. The Bonny tomato I believe has a 70-75 day maturation. You may be a little bit on the line with this variety but if they don't ripen you can have fried green tomatoes.
