Good n early tomatoes:
Northern Exposure tomatoes:
4th of July tomatoes, supposed to bear fruit before the 4th of July (hah!):

Just for the record, my totally unscientific experiment indicates that of all of the tomato seedlings I started, the 4th of July and the Northern Exposures do the best.

How neat! I'm thinking you should totally do rows and rows and rows of peas next time. You've totally got the right weather for it.
Everything looks delicious!
If I didn't use pots, I'd have peas on earth!
I wonder if we can eat tomato leaves? Try it on Bunn and if he seems okay the next day, then maybe.
No; they are toxic. Not even moose will eat them.
Yes, tomato leaves are well known for being toxic. I think this is true of all night shade plants, which include potatoes as well.
Oh no, don't test the leaves on Bunn! We are also growing tomatoes and peas, though no squash plants this year. Your plants all look very healthy, so I hope you get a good crop. Do you get slugs and snails. They cause us lots of problems here ;-(
Oh my mom's joking! She is always devising eebil experiments for her eebil grandkids. Two of hers are eebil--my sister's first cat and my Bunn--and they bear the brunt of her black humor. :)
We don't have snails or slugs. In fact, we hardly have any crop pests at all, save for the hugely macroscopic ones such as rabbits and moose. :)
I am kind of tempted to eat my own pea shoots, though. They are delicious stir-fried or in soup. Of course if I do that, then I won't get peas...
I'm afraid I might be my own worst pest!
You can totally eat the tips of your pea plants - the plant will just branch out into two stalks instead of growing upwards. I did that this spring with mine once they got really tall and threatened to go past the top of my trellis.
