Marking your tomatoes

maggie c · July 26, 2010

A bunch of my different varieties are all ripening now, and harvesting is about to be more than one or two tomatoes a day. So far I've known what I've picked because not much has been ripening...yet. But times, they are a changing!

So, when harvesting, how do you tell your varieties apart? I've seen that some people mark directly on the tomato - if that is your method, what kind of pen/marker do you use? Do you use a special kind of ink? If you have a different method, I'd sure love to hear about it! I'd hate to get my various kinds confused after I've gone to so much trouble to know what I'm growing!
