Default First Harvest

These came from my containers at home and the surrogate 2 doors down. I'm surprised to have maters this early due to the late plantout the first week of June. But we have had beautiful warm/hot weather since the end of June.

First Picture on the left is the Margaret Curtain bunch, upper right Tarasenko 6 and lower right is Ikie.

Second picture upper left and right are WMD # 3 from 2 different plants. Lower left is Perpignan and bottom right is Sprint timer.

Third picture is the whole table.
As these are the first fruit to ripen the plants are loaded and just waiting for the rest to follow suit. The ball on the table is the same size as a tennis ball.

Note: I went ahead and did taste test on Margaret Curtain and all I can say is
I ate the whole thing including the core and is a 9+. This particular fruit was dead ripe and had very tiny seeds and the core looked like a piece of watermelon. As you can see I picked 9 fruit off the plant and have another 25+ with some big fruits in the 300-400 gram range. Definitely a winner..
