Raybo,

Yeah!! Congrats on your first tomato! Everything's looking great - as expected. I like the way things are pruned. I think you're going to have to share some of your "what to do with all the cucumbers" recipes soon. I imagine you have some good ideas in that regard .

Anne,

Dear Wife takes it all to her Church (she's one of the Deacons) and puts up a table by the Exit for all to help themselves on their way home......(I am lucky to end up with a few that I would like to eat for Dinner).

Raybo,

So they become indulgences then?? JOKING

This isn't an option for me so I'm thinking maybe I'll drag out one of my juicers and the obnoxious vittorio (or whatever it's called) tomato processor and, if I actually do have a surplus , go the juicing route. I can only eat so many tomatoes and cucumbers but I can drink A LOT - especially on a hot day and I'm sure we've got lots of those coming up .

When I grew momotaro, it was always one of the first ones to come ripe. No surprise to me.

Good to know. I always thought Momotaro was more of a mid-season tomato.

I am also picking Dona right now:

F-1 Hybrid



Dona F-3

Looking good, Raybo!

I had recalled Momotaro being a larger tomato so I looked up the listing on Kitizawa. Since I last checked the price has gone WAY up (or number of seeds has gone way down)! And, I was surprised at how thorough the cultivation notes (points for successful production) were. I don't recall that level of detail esp. regarding flower stage. (or else I never read those parts of the listing before). I learn something new every day .
