Tomato Update

I am happy to report that the tomatoes are doing great! I have found that the minimum threshold that tomatoes can take is around 38 degrees F.  Although I did have minor leaf damage to some very small tomato plants at this temperature, more mature specimens came through just fine. Even the blossoms were not affected.

'Chianti Rose' Tomato at 2' tall

'Beefmaster' Tomato between 20" and 21" tall

My husband and I have a bet going. I say that due to planting early and the frost protection I have given these plants that I will have an edible tomato ready by the middle of May. He says that no matter what measures I take, there will not be edible tomatoes until the first week in June. I think I'm going to win.
