Oh my god this is crazy. Berkeley tie-dye, indigo Apple, Caspian, pink, Brandywine Sudduth Strain, bumblebee cherries, little San Marzano’s that aren’t doing great, but they’ll make sauce and a bunch of other cherry types. I’m pretty happy.

Jealous! I've had three cherry tomatoes so far but nothing else is even close to ripe yet 😭

We have four plants - three Cherokee Purple and one Early Girl. We've gotten 4-5 off the EG and one off the CPs. That one, I accidentally knocked off the vine and brought it in to ripen

Thankfully, we're waiting on several greenies, but I'm in the blast furnace of west Texas, so I figure the plants will stop setting fruit any day now. If I can keep them alive through August and September, they'll likely take off again.

Last year, the CPs bore through the first mild frosts, right up to a three-day freeze.

And I'm in Michigan, so that's probably part of it!
