These are actually a deep rose.

Beautiful. I see a tomato sandwich in order.

I've been making BLTs for a couple of weeks now. You have to eat them when the opportunity presents itself. My spring tomato plants will soon be done for. This has not been a good year for me as far as tomatoes are concerned. The squirrels got so many. Both ripe and unripe. I even went to a fabric store and bought netting that I cut to size and wrapped as many individual fruits as I could hoping this would deter the squirrels. It helped, but was not perfect remedy. We finally removed our bird feeder because it drew so many squirrels that feasted on the seed that dropped to the ground. And pigeons mobbed the feeder and kept the more desirable birds away. Removing the bird feeder has helped a lot in cutting down on the squirrel population

So that is my sad tale of woe.

Beautiful tomato Spooky!

From 12 o’clock, Cherokee Lime Stripes, Skykomish (2), mystery cherry, Solar Flare (2) and Clear Lake Heirloom.

Never heard of Clear Lake heirloom. It looks good. I have an affinity for the "black" tomatoes. Nice variety you have.

Clear Lake Heirloom is turning out to be a real winner. It’s very tasty and splits a bit less than some other blacks. Seed was from Heritage Seed Market (Bunny Hop Seeds).

Nice variety there PlainJane. I can only dream of a ripe tomato right now. Below is Iva’s Red Cherry. I requested this one from Tormato’s seedswap.

Thanks!
I’ve never had this one. Looking forward to hear how it tastes!

Such beautiful tomatoes, PlainJane, Spooky and others! I'm still in the waiting game. At least now that the torrid heat spell is over I see more babies starting to set. Progress!

A few photos made in Austin on June 10, 2019. Charley's June Bug, Jaune Flamee and Lofthouse's Big Hill. Lots of wind last night, less than half-inch rainfall, downed tree limbs, no garden damage.

June 10, 2019

Glad you didn’t have garden damage.
No splitting on your big tomatoes?

Harry Cabluck · June 12, 2019

Jane, Thanks. No splitting on any tomatoes...yet, but believe catfacing on some fruit on one of the plants. See photo. Most likely the catfacing because of cold and wet weather earlier in spring.

Lucky!

I’ve got splitting on some of the beefsteaks and salad tomatoes both. So annoying as it ripens unevenly and I usually lose part of the fruit.
Rained off and on all day today so dreading what I’ll find when I go out.

Nothing ripe here as of yet, but my Big Beef plants are really loaded up...
