South Florida: December Harvest

Gardenboy · December 11, 2016

Tomatoes pictured are German Red Strawberry, German Johnson (RL), Germaid Red (thanks to Remy for the seeds)

Light rain last few days. Suppose to be 85 degrees by Wednesday. Very windy also which will dry out the leaves...yeah!!

The German Red Strawberry was 1 lb. 8 oz. I let it get more ripe on the kitchen stove.

Beautiful tomatoes Douglas! Is the cluster of three tomatoes the Germaid Red? My goodness, I can't believe how big your heart is. I've never had one that big yet. What's your secret?

Yes, the cluster of red tomatoes are Germaid Red..first time growing this season. Also the German Red Strawberry (heart) tomato is first time growing this season also. Very meaty, few seeds. I like them more ripe than under ripe. No special secret..just FL is lucky so far this season with weather and fruit set.

I start my seeds first week of August so a lot of them got started early, plus thought we were going to have hurricane Matthew but only got some rain bands and wind...thank God!
