Lime Green Salad!

I reluctantly planted Lime Green Salad almost as an after thought this year. Not expecting a great experience with them and since they were supposedly diminutive in size; I scattered them around my garden almost as decorations rather than serious tomatoes. I think my philosophy was "A tomato that is not red nor any shade of red can not be much more than a novelty". I was wrong!

I planted this plant in one of my thirty gallon pots along with one of my pepper varieties and some flowers. It has become so heavy with tomatoes, it draped itself down the side of the pot.



The next two photos are of the same plant in the same bed.





The last photo shows one of the plants in a home made planter with a hybrid Fourth Of July plant growing behind it.



I wasn't sure exactly how to tell when they are ripe so when I found one yesterday which was slightly soft, but exhibited no color change; I pulled it, sliced it, and ate it in the garden. WOW!!! The flavor and texture seemed closer to a Kiwi fruit than any tomato I've ever eaten. Now I am patiently waiting for more to ripen.
