I can’t wait for my Principe Borgheses’s to ripen. I want to try sun-drying a few of them.

Just cherries, but some of the Principe Borghese are redding up. I can’t wait for the onslaught! The Early Girls are almost tennis ball size.

That’s amazing! And in Zone 5A??? I live in zone 6, eastern Massachusetts and there’s not a ripe local tomato in sight!

That sounds great! I’m a huge fan of tomatoes with olive oil & pepper on toast and sometimes a bit of romano cheese.

Don’t salt the first one! Savory the delicious sweetness of that cherry tomato sans salt. Those cherry tomatoes are as sweet as they come. Mix them with basil and put them on some garlic toast for bruschetta, yum! I picked about 20 cherry tomatoes this morning I’m still waiting on a good slicing tomato.

We don’t have any ripe tomatoes yet. A few little green ones on a handful of plants, but nothing red yet.

I just harvested the last of my ripe tomatoes this weekend! I also brought in several green ones that don’t look like they will ripen. We (Dallas, Texas) had temps above 100 degrees for a week straight which pretty much stops the ripening process. I had at least a hundred blooms that didn’t set fruit before the temperatures got too high. sigh. But I’m starting my fall plants and so hopefully will get more tomatoes in a couple of months.
