I am wondering if it is the heat that is causing the early ripening of the tomatoes or what.
Even some of the pinks are doing it. In good faith I cannot name the tomato anything but tomato. I cant even call it Hillbilly because it is an assumption that a label was moved or what ever. What ever it is it is highly susceptible to sun scald. Now I have two mystery tomato plants in the garden. |

Folks I am sitting on a passel of ripe tomatoes now.
And as always every year I make a big hamburger in celebration using the tomatoes. Off to the store for ground chuck buns lettuce and ruffles potato chips. Worth |

I was considering it and your comment talked me into it.
I have homemade pancetta but it isn't conducive to cooking because cooking concentrates the salt too much, best eaten raw. So I got some thick sliced apple wood smoke bacon. Didn't get the potato chips and instead will have carrot sticks, a healthy alternative. Worth |

I have a nice little crop of baby Mortgage lifters growing in one of the containers.
Might as well try to push them through the winter. |

Babies grow big fast. Bet you could get a couple Mortgage Lifter maters over the winter.

I've wanted to overwinter tomato plants, and I have a container of most likely stunted Japanese Pink Cherry plants. It rained so much in September that they are most likely culls. I don't like giving up. If the baby Mortgage Lifters are really small, then maybe I could start some new seeds tomorrow? Why not try? I will ask in a new thread. |

I separated the plants and gave them all a good dose of 13-13-13 and then it rained.
We shall see if I can grow another tomato this year. worth |
