Here's a few I took this evening...

Latest shot of most of my plants...Aunt Ruby's German Green is the plant on the far right corner. Six and a half feet and still going! shk

Lucky Leprechaun in my main garden loaded with fruit...

Black from Tula has about 10 fruit on it so far...(disregard the flea beetle...It met it's maker soon after I snapped the shot...)
[Linked Image]

Black Cherry is loaded with fruit...
[Linked Image]

Mortgage Lifter has a couple large ones...
[Linked Image]

Largest fruit so far definitely goes to Omar's Lebanese. This puppy is 6 inches in diameter and still growing. This plant supposedly can yield 3 lb fruit at times...

Lime green salad is darkening up. Maybe another week or so for my first ever green-when-ripe...
[Linked Image]

Wish we weren't limited to 8 images per post...

Happy tomatoes to all...

Oh I can definitely relate to that with two little ones at home myself. Unfortunately the time comes out of the gardening time.

Things are looking up some, but I'm losing fruit to bugs and heat. Here are the latest pickings...the biggest one is a Mortgage Lifter, one pound plus. Three are Delicious (I haven't tasted one yet,) one's a Brandywine, and there are a couple of German Red Strawberries. Notice the reading glasses for scale.

Awesome fruit Dave! I still have yet to get any color on any large fruit. Black cherry is finally ripening. Should finally taste those this week. Sungold is ripening a few a day now. Those things are SOOOOOO good. If any of you haven't tried sungold for a sweet cherry tomato, you HAVE to grow it next year. SFT is finally ripening and so is Citron Compact. That Omar's that I posted seems to get bigger and bigger every day. Can't wait for one of the big ones to ripen. Got the bacon all ready!

John, you'll be having fresh tomatoes at Thanksgiving by the looks of things. My brandywines were green forever it seemed. I was beginning to wonder if I had planted green tomatoes.
