Today, we celebrate our independence from unripe tomatoes. While tying up our plants today (July 5th), Farmer J exclaimed, “Farmer T! Come here!” In her hand was a ripe black cherry tomato. The first known ripe tomato in Tomato Town. I’m guessing this little guy was ready yesterday, but a late return from vacation land hampered our discovery of this delicious fruit. Seconds later, she found two sungold cherry tomatoes hiding under the heavy foliage.
We ate them within minutes of their discovery.
I can’t wait for mine to ripen!
We are looking forward to the larger varieties ripening. BLTs for breakfast, lunch, dinner!
