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?

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.
