   Some how it seems that tomatoes all want to start getting ripe about the   
   same time for me   
      
   I start some seeds for about 4 plants almost a month eairly than the   
   others.  When I transplant them all abot the same time, it seems that   
   they all start putting out ripe tomatoes within a few days of each   
   other.   
      
   This year it was 2 early girls and 2 celeberties.  They may have put out   
   some sooner, but a skunk got the ones on the bottom.  I think it was a   
   skunk as that is what I caught in my trap I put out after the tomaotes   
   started getting gone and all the leaves were eaten off my couple of   
   cucumber plants.  First one of those I have seen around here.
