And it is late for your season? What is your latest tomato to get ripe in the garden?
Am trying to determine what varieties are notoriously super late for many short season growers. Are there the ones that you still waiting to get ripe? Will you plant them next year?
For me last to ripen tomato is Marianne peace year from year. Love it but it does not start producing till first week of Sep from mid May planting. I will def use WOW with this variety next year.
I do not have big list of late tomatoes for this very reason.

I'm trying a new cherry variety this year by Bonnie called sweet 'n' neat. I love the compact size...hopefully it will do well and taste good!

Below is a link to what it looks like....

I picked my first Striped German today as a reminder that I have had a very cloudy and cool growing season.

My season is at least a month behind. I have not had one Brandywine, although I have certainly tasted them in the past, and I have yet to get to taste the large green fruit on my Linnies Oxheart or Fish Lake Oxheart plants. I have never tried those, this is my first year growing them. I have my first small Wes ripening on the counter, none tasted this year but I have in past years. I have had tomatoes from Sophies Choice, KB, Orange Minsk, Estlers Mortgage Lifter and Cherokee Purple Heart this year.

Linnie's Oxheart was reported by Victory Seeds as being 97 days from plant out to maturity. That would be the latest that I have ever planted.
