Cherokee Purple Blushing
We had a really crappy spring this year so our garden is about a month behind where it normally is this time of year. We've been getting a few black cherries, coyotes, early wonder and yellow pear. I was excited this morning to find that a cherokee purple was blushing. We're growing 33 different tomatoes this year and it's great to see some of the larger ones starting to turn.
We have two early wonder plants growing from some free seeds we received with our order from Tomato Growers Supply Co this year. They have been nice, compact plants with over 45 fruit on each of them, and the ones we've had ripen so far have been fairly decent tasting. I'd grow them again just to have an early tomato to enjoy while waiting for my favorites to ripen. First picture is the blushing cherokee purple and the other two are of the early wonder. |
