Blonde Boar

[RobinB]

This one is new for me this year. I expected it to be sweet. I wasn't sure when to pick them. The first one I tried when the tomato had turned yellow, but the stripes were faded, but still somewhat green. It was a spitter for sure! For the second ripe fruit, I waited until the stripes had all turned golden. Better, but there was no sweetness there at all. Once I got past that, walked away, came back and tried it again with an open mind, it wasn't bad. Lemony, citrusy... not bad. I've only tried the two so far, so I hope they get just a little bit of sweetness.

The attached photos show my first cluster to ripen, the first was taken on July 12, the second was taken on July 15. I picked the top one in the cluster to try.
