It's Red Tomato Day!

I've never had so many ripe fruits so early. This is a real treat!

Sophie's Choice, Sasha's Altai, Trust, Agatha, Moravsky Div, Stupice, Spiridonovskie and Yamal.

Nice.

Thanks, Kath. I'm sure yours will be along soon!

Tom -- latitude 61 actually. And a greenhouse is very helpful!

Sherry, that's a huge collection of ripe ones! I am hoping to get a few ripe before the end of August!

Thanks, all. We'll be enjoying some of them on a salad today.

Sherry,
Where does the Trust tomato come from? Seems like one of the farmers at the Sat. 15th and Cordova market grew that variety. He passed away this past winter...was from the valley.

Sherry,

It is so good to see tomatoes ripening in Alaska before we got anything here in PNW!
You've got a nice bunch there, enjoy!
