This was one morning's harvest from a couple days ago...maybe 45 minutes of picking! We then went on a two-day weekend trip to a family reunion. It rained hard while we were gone, and a bunch of the ripe tomatoes cracked or burst open. We got home this afternoon, and while there was still plenty of good stuff to pick, it was sad tossing the fruit that had gone bad. I did keep a bunch of the "lightly split" tomatoes and made a quick hot sauce this evening. I even bottled it...
You don't have to say it. I already know how classy I am. On a very cool note, yellow watermelons are in.
The flesh is sweet and juicy, right down to the rind. That sounds a little dirty to me. This evening it was super hot. I sat down to take a break and felt the sweat rolling down my skin. Heck, I could see it! I'm growing these cherry tomatoes called "Super Sweet." They are perfect little spheres that get deep red when ripe. Tonight, every third one had just split from the rain. At first I tossed them in the compost pile...if they are spilt, they quickly go bad. But I tasted one. It was the sweetest tomato I'd ever put in my mouth. (I think that could be taken the wrong way too. Oh well.) So I ate as I picked. They were fantastic over-ripe.
