Tomato Machines

Another week into summer, and the tomatoes are really starting to take off re fruit load. A few of note, pics taken this a.m.

At the bottom we have Gold Dust, just look at all the tomatoes set (click on pic for a closeup)!!

And a few more of interest - Tom Wagner's Black Prince X Cherokee Purple F2 - look at the size of those tomatoes on plant 1 - lots of catfacing unfortunately. All seem to be setting at the top of the plant. The top pic shows plant 2 from the same cross - notice how much smoother these fruit are - should be interesting to see (and taste) final results.

Happy Canada Day!!

Thought I'd post a few pics in celebration - first a pic of my trench tomatoes - coming along nicely, and the heat hopefully will make for a really good tomato set - lots of blossoms happening now.

Thought I'd also show one of Tom Wagner's crosses I'm growing out - Black Prince x Cherokee Purple - first the two plants and then some pics of their blossoms. Notice the one on the right has a slight blue tinge compared to its companion.
