I'll admit it -- I've got tomato envy. Specifically, I planted several varieties of heirloom tomatoes in mid-March, in the "8 to 10 weeks before last frost date" window recommended by the catalogs. Since putting them out in the third week of May, I've noticed that they are 80-90% smaller than many other tomatoes I see in nearby plots. Did I plant too late? My tomatoes are 2-3 inches tall, after 2 1/2 months. I feel like something is amiss, but I'm not sure where I might've gone wrong. Are the others just steroid-bloated monstrosities? Input would be appreciated.
Thanks--
Jim
