I'm getting tired of picking them. Especially the cherries.

There are Momotaro, Lemon Boy, Brandywine, Better Boy,
Sweet Million, Kellogg's Breakfast and the unknown green.

And much more to come. Plants are loaded with fruit.

gaguy,

What did you expect from Sweet Million?

Your Momotaro though is surprising, as I've never had abundant yield from that hybrid.

That fruit came from 7 of my 9 plants. I also have one
called Salsa that only went in a month ago. My Italian
Heirloom didn't make it and it was slim pickins even at
Burkard where I get my plants.

The other is Selbo's Ribbed Red Cherry. Only one fruit
from it so far. There's more coming, but it went in May 1
which is about a month behind the others. Still, it's almost
reached 6 feet now and I see lots of flowers and quite a
few green fruit forming.

Never grew Sweet Million before. Sweet 100 was out of
stock and Sweet Million wasn't. I'll grow it again, only I'll
leave more space for it. It's already outgrown the cage
(which is 6feet) and grown halfway back to the ground.

Don't get great yield from Momotaro either. But it's generally
pretty early and has better taste than Early Girl.

I wish I had this problem. Talk about mouth watering pics.

I hope you sell them or have some recipes for them. I threw away about 200 cherry tomatoes last season.

It's been a very good tomato year for me so far. I have had really great fruit set but not many ripe yet. The tsunami is coming though! I have 65 plants and 55 varieties planted. All have fruit!

What a great harvest. Luckily, cherry tomatoes are easy to freeze. Rinse them off, throw them in a baggie in the freezer, and use them in soup over the winter. :)

(And I'm looking forward to hearing the reports on the Selbo's Ribbed Red Cherry. I've been following that thread and can't wait until I can get some seeds for myself. :))
