Early Harvest Pictures

Hi All:

I'm very excited about our production so far this year. We've got ripe fruit on about half of the plants, and yesterday's harvest was awesome:



It inspired a nice lunch of beautiful slicers (In clockwise order, that's White Oxheart, Thessoloniki, Ananas Noir, Kentucky Beefsteak, Brandywine Red Lantis, Green Zebra, and Black Krim. All delicious.):



Anyone else have pictures to share?

Very colourful little harvest there, well done!

I must, say, I'm quite proud!

how many plants did you get all that from? Was it just one plant of each variety or was it several?

So pretty! I love the different colors and shapes. Congratulations! No ripe fruit here, but I did a count and I have over 100 tomatoes growing on 23 plants. I'm over eager for some ripeness but nothing yet!!

Great looking harvest, love the varieties! Well done!

Kentucky Beefsteak - how would you rate/describe the taste/flavor?

That figure seems incredibly low.

What variety(s) are you growing?

I'm waiting for the last dozen to ripen up on my 1 Reggae Roma Plant which so far has produced over 60 tomatoes.

Yes, it's true. Some of my plants only have 1 or 2 tomatoes on them. I've got 9 varieties going and I'm just happy I'll get any fruit at all with the weather being so weird this year!! I looked up my count from last year and I got over 30 tomatoes per plant--this year is a total crap shoot!

The plate has 7 varieties from 7 different plants.

The total harvest is from our garden, which has 34 plants, each a different variety, some of which have yet to bear ripe fruit. But we're getting closer every day...

I would rate it very high -- great yield, healthy plant, medium acidity and sweet with a hint of smokiness. It's in the top 5 of my husband's and my favorites so far.

Nice little assortment you have there. I must try some exotic varieties next year. Something other than the normal choices at Lowe's or Home Depot. All my plants except the Roma Grapes have went into remission.
