Do I have to wait 68 days for a tomato?

I bought 2 tomato plants last weekend which I had to plant on my deck because of the deer problem. Yesterday when I started dinner - the deer were munching on my HOLLY TREES with the pointy sharp leaves! I was amazed. Even I can't get up close to those sharp trees without screaming YIKES when a leaf nabs me! How can the deer even like to nosh on the pointy green leaves? WHATEVER. But back to my tomato plants. The little info tab says that the fruit will appear in 68 days and I can't WAIT! We had rain overnight and as you can see in the picture it's wet out but has stopped raining for now.

My window boxes are just starting to establish as well. It's not even been a full week and already the window box that is in the sunlight is looking dandy!

Russell is at his University today taking placement tests. Can't wait to hear how it went and if he made any new friends. His orientation will be at the end of June for an overnight. I hope he makes new friends at this outing as well! I so want everything to go well.

Best,
