My tomatoes appear to be on their way to high yields and at least fist sized fruit. They are ripening at different stages, which more or less tracks with their initial growth in the soil.
The Mortgage Lifters have been slow growing and are only now producing small fruit. I couldn't catch the beauty of these early tomatoes on my phone, which in essence refuses to focus on the foreground fruit. It is ribbed and elliptical.
The Cherokee Purples are both growing at about the same speed. They flank the Sunny Boy plant, and sometimes appear rather dwarfed by it, but the tomatoes are of great size and shape. Many are bursting through their skins, leaving holes in part of them.
The Sunny Boy has the thickest stalk of anything outside the Jaune Flamee, and it is producing some rather pretty fruit in the ribbed style of the Mortgage Lifter.
The Orange Blossom tomatoes were the fastest to rise, the first to bloom, and now sport the biggest fruit.
