Nice! Very seasonal colors for a Christmas salad! Jade Beauty really does stay dark green! I'll have to put it on a future list.

Richard-A fellow tomato grower here where I live said it looked like Kiwi fruit!
Red-My wife and I will be taking some of these varieties to San Antonio to have for Christmas with our family there. Here's hoping we have some ripe fruit to take.

Michael,
I have grown tomatoes a long time, but I am a complete noob when it comes to green when ripe. How do you even tell when they are ripe? ![]()

Red
It takes practice. You cant wait for them to turn, so you have to do the squeeze test. You have to try a few when you first start growing gwr and soon you get the hang of it. Thats why Jade Beauty is a great variety-it produces a lot of fruit and you are able to get it right before you pick all your fruit.

Richard-My Tadesse are original seed from Carolyn-seed from 1994 that several of us were able to get germinated. Since I had never seen the real Tadesse, it was interesting to see just how brightly red it is. Beautiful looking tomato.
Andrey-I learned greenhouse growing from you and many others! Its bitterly cold here for us, I just got up (6 a.m.) and its only 23 F, -5 C, and its surprising just how good these tomatoes taste. Of course, they are in the greenhouse growing, but its still cold in there.
