Ah, our first tomato of the year. It's a Sungold cherry tomato, (behind it are blue lake, potomac and blue coco----those are the purple ones---snap beans). Since we got our tomatoes in a little late this year, due to first a delay in tilling, and then a delay due to the really wet spring, it's a little later then I would have preferred. The good new is that there are quite a few tomatoes set on the vines--nothing but the cherries are ripening yet, but they will be soon!


I offered half of this first tomato to S. but he declined so I had the first taste test. I only asked twice...no need to convince me to eat the whole thing myself :-) we've never grown this variety before, so I found it very interesting tasting. Apparently they're ripe at this orangey-red color, and it really tasted much sweeter than I expected. Almost a slight citrus or pineapple flavor to it, really.

Here's hoping for more soon!
