waiting for eggs to hatch

Finally seeing a few tomatoes ripening but this spring has been so different that I feel like a bird that keeps looking at the nest waiting for its eggs to finally hatch. Have others felt the same this year?

I wish I could say that I'm doing the same, but my tomatoes are still small and green. However, once they show some colour I feel exactly the same way. It seems to take SO long for them to ripen.

What is the variety of that yellow/gold one? It loos so pretty!

Sorry, that egg isn't going to hatch, it's been cracked already ;-)

Its a Yellow Mini. So far only that variety, Sweet Baby Girl and Black Cherry have started showing color. Last year the SunSugar plants started producing first, about 2 weeks before now. They are just taking their good old time this year and the more I watch them the slower they ripen.

If that's a Mini Russian Yellow, I'm jealous. I only waited until one had sprouted and tossed the rest (bad move apparently). It was doing well and I transplanted it, then it wilted and died on me for no apparent reason - sigh. Oh well, there's always next year!
