Teasers
As usual the first tomatoes to ripen were the yellow cherry varieties, Mirabelle, Sungold and Sundrop. I picked the first almost two weeks ago and they were followed within days by Supersweet. I might have had some black/brown cherry tomatoes and some Isis Candy but I put them in the Boxelder bed and the Damned Doe got to 'em. This week we ate the first small tomatoes, Jaune Flammè, Tigerella and Stupice and a few Black Plum, Brown Berry, Super Snow White and Green Grape. The first Marmande sits on a windowstill, the first Ramapo should probably be brought in before some critter takes a nibble and there will be several Carmello tomatoes this week.
