I was afraid I wasn't get to try it in this terrible gardening weather. I got two that weren't attacked by bugs and worms and let them ripen in the house. I checked for ripeness by feel and the amber color that developed and was patient. I will plant them again. I thought the slices were a pretty green color. This is a novelty that worked out. In another gardening year I will find out if they are productive or not. Also for the last two years I have been sick after eating tomatoes, so much so that I lost weight about 5 pounds which I gain back when I quit eating tomatoes. This year no spray except Surround which is just clay as a barrier and shield. I am eating tomatoes for breakfast snack lunch and dinner and not getting sick. Last two years I used Thuracide and spinosade which are organic. One of them makes me sick even if I wash the tomatoes unless it is a strange coincidence.
