I have planted only to have raccoons dig them out, I am going to keep planting though, the weather up here (Westport) is always so darn wet lately I am having problems. I have been told by the other folks with gardens that I can plant until mid June. They don't mess with the onions or garlic though. I didn't have this problem back in Sacramento...;o)

Tomatoes take 60 to 80 days to harvest. Pick a variety with the fewest amount of time to harvest.( ask someone at your local garden center) Raise the temp. at night by filling liter bottles with water and place them next to you plant. The sun will heat the water up in the day and stay warmer at night, the warmer temps. the quicker your plant will fruit. Fertilize with only a tomato fertilizer and let them dry out well in between watering's. Pull back on the water in the middle of fruiting it will help to speed things up and your tomatoes will have a full flavor.
Goodluck
God bless

You really should have them planted NOW, but I would say you'll still get tomatoes if you plant them by the end of june.
