On a sidenote...anyone have tips on how to tell when green zebras are ready?
Almost ripe! So many!
We're starting to gear up for tomato season here. Some are already red, some turning. My vines are HEAVY with fruit. I keep needing to stake and tie them off. I have 7 different in the ground, 5 in pots. These are the in ground ones.

Looking good. I planted late but have more coming in than we can eat. I love it!

Green zebra turns yellow with green stripes when ripe.

Re: Almost ripe! So many!
I planted some late (not these) too. They're not close to ready yet. I am completely inept when it comes to starting seeds and so the ones I started (very late, I probably shouldn't even have done it) I just put in pots a couple weeks ago. I still have some that I will put in the ground.JC's Garden wrote:Looking good. I planted late but have more coming in than we can eat. I love it!
This happened last year too and I still got tomatoes off these plants that I put in late. Though it might not have been this late!
