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.
How to Plant. To start tomatoes indoors, sow seeds using expanding seed starting soil pods about 8 weeks before the last frost date for your area. Seedlings will be spindly with less than 12-14 hours of light per day, try to keep them in a warm sunny location.
