Thanks. They are good. I like Painted Pink a lot.

Here is a Tigerella on the left, and Early Orange Stripe on the right.

I should really pick more often. I last picked four days ago. This was this morning's haul.

Definitely a nice looking, tasty haul! I am patiently waiting for my turn at the harvest end of this tomato farming. I picked 4 big ?? from those grated plants that were given to me but do not know what they are except very tasty, kinda thick skinned, and not many seeds

Wow she's a cutie for sure. I wish my plants were that far along. Except for the solitary better boy unfit to sell all mine are still green.

Another nice looking bunch Cole, we ate the one my grand daughter helped pick tonight - it was the 5th from the grafted plants - mighty good with few seeds

Thanks. I do like that counter arrangement better than any flowers.

Here are Green Tiger and Brad's Atomic Grape:

Default Cherry update

Esterina is a good variety, high yield and good flavor. But it still tastes like a hybrid. Johnny's replaced White Cherry in their catalog with Esterina, but I ate my first White Cherry yesterday, and it is much better tasting than Esterina, not even close.

Ambrosia Red has great flavor for the second year in a row. I just ate my first Ambrosia Orange, and I think it easily beats Sungold in flavor. I think I have Ambrosia Gold out there somewhere, too.

Painted Pink is the best-tasting pink/red antho cherry that I have had. Bosque Blue Bumble Bee is back as my yellow antho cherry. It's like seeing an old friend again.
