Mine are fruitful but still all green. [sigh]

Mine are steadily producing , just a little more than we can eat ... but not enough to can . Been giving what we can't eat to the neighbors .

Mine are flowers.

The first cherry tomatoes (SunSugar, yum!) ripened July 4th and coming steady.

I've dried one small batch of Sweet Hearts (sort of a large grape tomato).

Matina (small, early slicer) ripened one full truss already.

The first of the paste tomatoes are ripening.

Some of the large, late tomatoes are showing color.

(I've got 10 different varieties and 15 plants total.)

Alas, the cucumbers are wilting badly and the squash and corn are very stressed.

But we've had the first serious rain in a long, long time this morning. A whole 1/2 an inch!

Mine finally set some fruit a week or 2 ago. It seems to have been a slow process this year. ( Even the Earlies' are late) But now the plants are growing a a rate that I put new ties on them on a weekly basis. Mid- August to the end of august is when I see ripe tomatoes.
