Congrats on such a gorgeous first bloom--we're starting to get a couple here too. Probably be a month or more before there's a ripe tomato.

With Mother Nature's co-operation the blooms do come. My plants went in the ground about 2 weeks late this year because of rain and muddy ground. Sungold and Galina's were the first to bloom and now followed by Anna Russian, Granny's Heart and Hoy. The rest look like they are about a week away. Hoy is a very impressive growing plant. It's about twice the size of the rest of my plants. I have some container plants on my deck that went out about 2 weeks earlier and they have set fruit (Sungold, Siberian, Stupica, Bloody Butcher, Silvery Fir Tree and my "Faux Sophie's Choice")
I really wonder what the "Sophie's" is. It is now 32" and growing (Thanks to mdvpc's observation it is now obvious that it is not Sophie's Choice. It has set fruit so I'll see what it grows.) |
