FIRST TOMATOES!


Here they are! The Beam's Yellow Pear from Seed Savers Exchange is the first to produce ripe tomatoes in my garden this year. This plant is the most vigorous of the 10 I am growing this year so I'm not surprised that it has the first fruit. I can't report on the taste as my wife took these to work with her lunch today. They come 65 days after setting out and 108 days after starting the seeds. I'll compare with the packages later

The Black from Tula and the Pineapple look like they will have ripe fruit shortly. The grape has a few that will ripen this week. I expect to have a lot a tomatoes next week and then it will be a deluge!
