These are rather large and heavy. We'll taste one soon.
Now the big tomatoes are ripening. I picked a bunch on Monday to get them off the ground before they started to rot. I don't think this variety is supposed to get deep red. A few of them seem ready to eat now!
Could they be the variety called Ananas? If so they are golden inside with red streaks when ripe and absolutely delicious! P.
ReplyDeleteLove tomatoes Walt - they go with almost everything, ask ant Italian.
ReplyDeleteGreat tomato harvest Walt.....and you've only just started.....you'll have lots to can and store.
ReplyDeleteWe're harvesting at the same time this year, Walt!
ReplyDeleteWhat variety are these?
This is our first year with big tomatoes-- we only had cherries and plums last year, and some mid-sized ones.
our 3 plants (both cherry and regular) are already dead. 378 cherry tomatoes and 109 regular tomatoes were harvested. and 2 red peppers; these are still going strong.
ReplyDeleteLucky you.
ReplyDeleteMine are still green and I lucked out on the heirloom ones - only 50% successful.
Great tomatoes! My plants are ready to be pulled up and substituted for fava beans and the winter crops!
ReplyDeleteas you know I adore home grown tomatoes; I'd sell my own grandmother to get one of these lovelies.
