My daughter(19) came home for the weekend so I had been holding off on harvesting! She loves tomatoes! We had so much fun harvesting each variety showing any blush! Then her brother was picking her up to take her to a really nice restaurant but she had to have one of Dad’s BLT’s as an “appetizer” with a fat slice of Cherokee Purple! He arrived just as I finished making it so she ate in his car on the way to dinner!!!😂 He had a bite too and said it was delicious! Definitely my kids!!!

beautiful
Never seen a German Johnson before…
Congratulations, that’s a nice harvest!
Wow! How many plants do you have that produced that number of tomatoes? Gorgeous selection!
Amazing harvest (especially those grapes) !! I’m obsessed with the idea that there is a tomato variety that’s called “Mortgage Lifter”, I had to look up the story and apparently selling the plants really did pay off his mortgage haha
My German pink tomatoes have been my least productive of all of my tomatoes so far.
How are the sun sugar?
Lady told me they are better than sweet 1 millions but haven’t tried either yet (one month away)
Great bounty . Enjoy .
How many plants do you have?
How big are your Early Girls? I thought they were supposed to be a decent slicer but mine are all ripening at cherry size, and yours don’t look all that much bigger (though definitely bigger than mine!). Have you grown that variety before?
Single thick slice is the only way to BLT
Nice harvest. Might want to look into a green variety like Cherokee Green or Green Grape and a white variety like Great White or Chef’s Choice White to complete the palette.
Great harvest! I must get some mortgage lifter to try.
Just a small correction (?) for the yellow pear. They are cherry/grape type tomatoes in the shape of tiny pears. I think the ones in the photo are something else?
