..and so it begins

PaulF · July 10, 2012

After a handful of Ambrosia Red cherries, which I don't really count, my tomato garden produced its first big tomato, a 9 ounce Fish Lake Oxheart. It will sit on the windowsill for a day or so, then down the hatch to begin another year.

so Paul where's the pics....?

Okay, I will try to post photos and report later on the flavor. It will be part of a BLT.

Very nice! I hope it was a delight to eat!

wondering how it tasted?

PaulF · July 12, 2012

As I have stated several times, "I never ate a heart I didn't like." For a first of the year and this being a drought year, Fish Lake was sweet and juicy with very few seeds. There was a distinct flavor of home grown tomato after several months of dull store bought red cardboard tomatoes. On a scale of ten we gave it an eight and 1/2. Recommended.

It's beautiful, which is good, because it's on my grow list, as is ambrosia. What size cherry is ambrosia?

PaulF · July 12, 2012

For me, Ambrosia Red has been in the medium size for cherries range, about 1/2 inch diameter. I can compare it to Sungold size and smaller than Black Cherry and larger than Sweet Million.

That's a perfect description of size. got a good visual from it.
Thanks!
