Tomato Time

 Striped Cavern Tomato

Mutant Striped Cavern

As promised, here's the tomato update. Most of our plants are producing fruit and we are waiting patiently for their true colors to show. Above is the Striped Cavern which I believe will prove to be a really fun tomato to cook with. When mature it should be red with yellow stripes. It's oddly shaped similar to a bell pepper and it's pretty much hollow inside (thus the name). There is a pod of seeds that can easily be removed like a bell pepper. I think it would be great to stuff and bake or fill with a cold salad. They're suppose to keep for a while in the fridge.

Ty's Taxi Tomato

Ty's Taxi was my first to show fruit and I can't wait for them to turn yellow.

Bonito Ojo Tomato

The Bonito Ojo is a thin skinned tomato that comes from Chile. The plants have lots of fruit growing in every direction.

Yellow Pear Tomato

Oh Yellow Pear, you're so pretty and dainty. Why won't you turn yellow? My tomato loving Mother is only here a few days!

I realize that all these green tomatoes are just causing a lot of wishful thinking. I might just save the rest of the tomato postings until they start displaying their colors. Then I'll show them in their different stages. Well, I've mentioned four types-only 9 more to go! I hope you are all enjoying the fruits of your labor.
