...just more tomatoes...
I haven't been counting but I am in the 15-20 range so far. A dozen more of various sizes growing.
Also changing my nice tomato flavor comment to wonderful tomato flavor. Really like them
Often have them quartered or sliced with light salt.

I need to put Vivacious tomatoes on my seeds list! I like the Vivacious tomatoes. They are much nicer looking than my try with San Marzano, but I am using different nutrients and changing them weekly rather than bi-weekly. Probably keeping the water topped off better also. |

Yikes, I discovered 4 ripe tomatoes that were behind the farm where I did not see them.

Tomatoes are like that! They love to hide their fruit under a thick canopy or something else.  |

Today I picked a couple of the largest tomatoes so far. It is pretty exciting to be getting a crop like this.

My Vivacious seeds arrived a couple of days ago, tompepper7! I'm going to start them soon. Somehow I doubt that my harvest will be as copious as yours, but hope springs eternal!  |

I'll be interested to see how your tomatoes do.

Currently, all the ripe tomatoes have been picked, but I count 23 more green tomatoes at various stages growing.

There was a bit of a lull before more tomatoes ripened so now I'm just gonna eat the new tomatoes:

More ripe tomatoes now. Half of these were picked today.
It might be a bit boring to post bowls of fresh tomatoes but it is not boring to me at all.
Almost forgot to add that I really like the nice mild tomato flavor of these Vivacious tomatoes. There is not much acid at all.

I'm going to start Vivacious and Homeslice seeds very soon. I ran out of steam today after doing R&Rs. Starting a new garden should be enjoyable--which it isn't if you've already carried around a dozen-plus gallons of water! Your Vivacious tomato photos are inspiring, tompepper7! |
