My 5-wk old tomato garden is growing but no tomatoes yet. When I can expect to see fruit on the plant?

I planted an organic vegetable garden 5 weeks ago. My tomato plants look incredible and are growing so fast. They are about 2-3 feet so far. I do not see any tomato buds and am wondering if anyone knows how long it usually takes to see the fruit/vegetable after planting. Thank you!

Should be by June. Look for yellow flowering first. The tiny flowers are what turn into tomatoes.
Reply:Depending on you variety, it takes about 60 - 80 days from transplanting. should say on the seed or seedling informationi.





This as long as they are getting good sunshine at least 6 hours per day, Nights are above 45F and days get above 70F.





I live in Colorado, so we are still in greenhouses.
Reply:They should start to get flowers if they are that big, though it is early for actual fruit. They could have too much nitrogen, not enough phosphorus. Try a 15-30-15 organic fertilizer.
Reply:Depending on the variety, most tomatoes don't give real good fruit until end of July through august, once they start flowering it will take from like 50-88 days again depending on the variety, to develop mature fruit
Reply:It's too early most likely. Depending on the variety..it could take 70 days.
