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.
Starting tomatoes from seed allows you to grow the variety and quantity you desire. It also means you need to calculate the proper time for starting the plants. To do that, you need to know how long it will take your plants to reach the desired size, and the last expected frost date in your area.eedlings. To get seedlings ready for planting in the garden when all danger of frost has passed in your area, you must count backwards six to eight weeks from the last frost date. Planting the seeds at the proper time is an important part of growing tomato plants from seed.
