That is very exciting! I just planted all my babies, so it is going to be awhile until I see a fruit.

For those who like to look...

Lime Green Salad in the first pic. It looks like it's gonna get BIG. It's about the size of a nickel, just a tad wider.

Lime Green Salad in the second pic. Not as big. There are three more on this plant so far.

Kangaroo Paw Brown #3 in the third pic.

I can't wait till these ripen! *drool*

MY Lime Green Salad's are larger than I thought they would be and are loaded with fruit.

They are producing like crazy, I thought I would've eaten one by now. My first time to grow LGS, I'm going by the size and feel and don't think they are ready. I hope they taste as good as they look, if they do LGS will go in my garden and containers every year(I have some planted in the garden and some in pots they look like they are growing at the same rate).

This is my first green when ripe tomato. I'm really excited about it's potential. There are some really big blooms on that plant and also what look like are gonna be fairly large tomatoes. I hope so!

Congrats Kevin! I have only grown on GWR variety and I absolutely loved it. Green Giant, which I started this year but it succumbed to virus.
