Late May, actually! Part of it is what we use to feed them too. Regular ol' garden tomatoes.
We use Fox Farms; right now we're working on making our own nutrient mixtures but for some reason, Fox Farms is just absolutely bonkers when it comes to feeding plants. It was originally made for hemp; but hemp and tomatoes require nearly the same amount of phosphates, calcium and other nutrients! (legally, the feeder is "for tomatoes") If you adjust the feeding schedule/amounts you can use it on other garden plants too. Our squash likes a heavier load of the big bloom than the rest.
I just used some bio manure beads this season and mixed it deep into the soil. Apparently it's enough nutrients for three seasons. I'm more confident about next season cause this year a lot of the things I grew got burnt by the heat. But the trees have been fruitful on account of the sun, heat and deep roots.

I'll try planting some tomatoes in late May. :)
