has anyone kept track of the average time it takes between bloom and when they start to turn red on the giant varieties?

I have kept track of a few varities

Early girl= average 15-20 days from bloom

Cherry and grape tomatoes around 2 weeks

Black, Purple tomatoes on average about 20-24 days

Red Beef Stake average 21 days

Brandy wine average 20+ days

Percimon I had one in 14 days but most seemed to be like 20-26 days

Keep in mind weather plays an important part on the speed on how fast they grow.

I did have a tomato that just seemed to sit on the plant for a long time.

Hope this helps andy.
