| I have two huge plants with lots of fruit in various stage of devt but everything is still green. Seems the cherries must be almost about to get some color, but what do other people have? |

| I picked my first Sungold cherry last Friday (it had cracked from the rain) and have had one or more ripen each day since then. It's hard to believe that whole trusses will become ripe someday. One of my Sweet Olive grape tomatoes is reddening -- just one out of hundreds of green jellybeans. I'm curious about full-size tomatoes too. |

oh yes! And they are delicous. I planted three heirloom plants, and lost one (a Bonny Best) due to a mystery disease.
I have been dining on the fruit of the cherry tomato (Silver Fir Tree) and the beefsteak (a Black Krim, I think) for about 3 weeks.
Although it won't last long... this blasted heat isn't allowing any new blossoms to develop into fruit. I guess I will have a very short season this year, unless we get a break soon.
I planted an heirloom chard this year (Perpetual Spinach) and it's doing spectacularly.
best wishes,
