Got the first few fruit blushing and just before that, we had about 3 days of downpour rain. All this heavy rain over the last few days has caused these first few to split badly. Yesterday, we had a particularly bad storm with high winds that actually broke some of my oak stakes. It laid tomato cages down like dominoes, and I have a large maple tree down in the back yard. Still picking up the pieces around here, but I grabbed these and brought them up to the house.

They ain't pretty, but here they are and even if I don't get to taste these, I can probably salvage some seeds. There are still plenty of green ones left to give us many more opportunities for further analysis of the "striped" ones. Not real proud of these, but here they are anyhow.
