Home-grown tomatoes don't always look beautiful but they sometimes look happy.




The yellow one is almost certainly a Gold Medal, which is an indeterminate tomato -- that means it bears fruit throughout the season and is viney. The others are either Black Sea Man or Black Krim, which are determinate tomatoes -- that means they bear fruit all at once and are more compact and less viney. Or so I read. I lost the labels so until now I haven't had a clue which was which. Tomatoes seem to be very late this year.

The first one looks pretty pleased with itself!
My tomatoes were taking forever to ripen, i'm finally getting ripe ones.

I made a gallon of sauce yesterday, myself. I had to do it in self-defense!
