I've never heard of anyone getting sick from it but it's definitely too sharp for my tastes. My ex-mother-in-law told me 'nothing goes bad in my fridge' meaning she'll drink anything regardless of recommended shelf life but she adds a lot of milk and sugar to my cold brew.
My general rule of thumb is about 25 to 30 days for small and cherry tomatoes and 45 to 60 days for large tomatoes, BUT, it varies based on a lot of factors such as variety, temperature, sun exposure, rain/cloudiness, size of the plant and how many tomatoes the plant is producing.
Most tomato varieties should be planted 6-8 weeks before the last expected day of frost for your area. For me, in zone 5, that means Memorial Day or end of May. I like to give them ample time, so I plant around March 20th or so. Personally I find egg cartons to be the perfect starter home for tomato seeds.rowing Tomato Plants from Seed. Growing plants from seed can be a very rewarding and fun experience when you start with just a few, basic know-howâs. I have seeded everything from broccoli, peppers, and watermelon to beans and much more, and of course, lots of tomatoes.
