My plants are now two years old and still producing tomatoes. They are sweeter than many reds I grow and are surviving my 100+ summer heat. At first it was hard to know when they were ripe, but now I just touch them and can tell the difference. When ripe they get a slight blush of yellow/pink in the green and have a soft give to the skin.

Delicious tomatoes that look absolutely gorgeous like the picture. Deep, vine-ripened flavor, full of sweet and savory fl juice. The tomatoes themselves look perfect, but the vines seem more susceptible to powdery mildew than other tomatoes I planted. Give them space for ventilation and pretreat.

I bought a bunch of tomatoes I never grew before. This was one. Because I did it in winter sowing in milk jugs, I actually got more starts then I knew what to do with. But the crazy spring kept me from plants them . So I just did the oldest and biggest ones in grow bags in the back of my yard. I did the same thing with my okra. The whole back it filled with okra and tomatoes. I am learning so much this years and loving every minute of it. Im 71 and found so many ways to do things so I could actually get them done without killing myself. The okra seeds I wrapped in a wet paper towel and folded it up and stuck it in another container on the counter. I will add I first soaked the seeds for 6 hours. Then it took 2 days for them to sprout. So much more to learn. I saw this on youtube. Some things are worth trying.
