My first non-cherry tomatoes!

Chartreuse · August 19, 2012

Something other than cherry tomatoes are finally starting to ripen! These are the varieties that I have picked so far. They aren't quite ripe yet but with so few ripe tomatoes I can't bear to leave them on the vines and worry about critters getting at them!

I also need to be careful where I leave them as my kitty has decided that cherry tomatoes are the perfect cat toy ... the black cherry had made it to the basement within about 30 seconds of that last shot ...

Those are some gorgeous specimens, Chartreuse! You can hardly blame kitty- looks as though you lined them up just for him/her!
