Finally picking my first tomatoes

[sirtanon]

My mammoth Ildi plant is finally ripening tomatoes, and is just covered with tons of greenies, so I'm looking forward to continued snacking.

For now, I've picked a few ripened yellow gems, and they were delicious. Not as flavorful as some cherry/grape tomatoes I've had in the past, but definitely plenty of flavor

Here's some of what I've got to look forward to:




Also, my black cherry plant is finally setting lots of baby maters:





You can see in the 2nd pic just how tall the plant has gotten. That's a 6-foot wall behind it, and it's overgrown it by at least a foot. I've told my neighbor that any suckers that grow down over his side of the wall are fair game.


..but the one I'm still the most anxious about is the variety I call "Zelinda's Pear" that I've grown from a tomato I brough over from Australia. The tomatoes from that plant were just amazing.. big, succulent, delicous piriform pear tomatoes. I just have one plant of it in my garden, but it's turning into a monster. Big, strong, THICK stems/vines.. and The tomatoes look like they could very likely get big:
