Crazy the difference a long cool spring makes on harvest timelines. My first four ripe tomatoes I picked today vs. what I picked on this date last year! (beehaw.org)

Wow! What a dramatic difference. We have like five tomatoes plants and all are producing fruit but they're ripening slowly, imo. (I'm also in socal). Hot weather is coming this week though so hopefully we both have better luck 🤞
