This is my first year growing grape tomatoes. I usually grow cherry tomatoes, and the last 2 years grew some round yellow baseball sized tomatoes that the deer enjoyed before we had a chance to taste any.
I picked 5 yesterday and these are the next in line to ripen.
Anyone else grow these? Does it always take them so long to ripen?

They sure look good....what do they taste like. Anything like their name sake??

I do grow them and this is the first year it's taken forever for mine to ripen. I don't know what's going on with the universe. It's taking everything a long, long time to get ripe.
My grape tomato plants are much heartier than the other tomato plants.

Rosepetal - they are called that because of their shape I believe - not because of the taste. The few we had could have been a bit more ripe, so I'll let you know when I get some nice really red ones.

These in my opinion are the easiest to grow and I have some growing right now. I water mine everyday and they seem to turn red rather quickly for me.
