Red is the Color

A newly-ripened Jet Star

Farmer J and her mother have an ongoing, friendly competition over who hosts the first red tomato of the season.  This year, the award goes to her mother with not one, but two Jet Star tomatoes.  They were picked blushing on June 6th, and photographed fully ripe on June 11. This is a record for Farmer J’s mother, who has been growing tomatoes in her backyard for some 40 years.
