That eagerly awaited first ripe tomato is on it’s way!

Cherokee Purple is very unfamiliar to me. I’m sure I have grown them in the past, but I don’t remember if I liked them or how well they grew and prospered in my garden.

They seem to be maturing in leaps and bounds after a slow start from transplanting in May. The seeds were started in my greenhouse in late March.

Plants are nearing the top of their 5 foot support fencing and are full of bloom and small tomatoes.
