Good News/Bad News

The good news is that I picked two ripe cherry tomatoes, finally: two from my Snow White Cherry plant.

The bad news is that they weren't snow white.

They were orange, and also too small to be SWC, which I hadn't noticed while tying up the plant in my excitement about the approaching Tomato Zabby Day.

Most likely is that they are Sungolds and my labels just got mixed up---these weren't as sweet as a typical Sungold but as the first fruits, and possibly picked a bit underripe given that I didn't know what they were, that wouldn't be surprising.

Gotta go inspect the plants & labels in that bed. I don't remember where my SWC seed came from.

Sigh. I'm SO careful with labels when seeding and starting inside. But once I get to planting out things get a bit hairy sometimes and the documentation is imperfect. Rather embarrassing as I make my living as an editor....
