First tomato award goes to Anna's Multiflora, a nice little red saladette, very "old fashioned" tomato taste.

Prettiest plant award goes to New Big Dwarf. The dwarfs always win that category though. I have Tennessee Suited and Dwarf Mr. Snow also. Mr Snow has lots of flowers!

Yes, there's a pumpkin in the picture. It's a leftover "Halloween decor" pumpkin from Walmart. It just now started going bad, so I threw it in with the tomatoes.

Some pics.

Jaune Flamme, looks right this year. I tried to grow it last year but got small red tomatoes that were shaped like a big beefsteak and tasted like grocery store tomatoes. I made my sister eat them because every time I have her taste really great tomatoes she says "tastes like a tomato".

Japanese Black Trifele, it was also wrong last year, from a different vendor, grew round red cocktail tomatoes. Sorry about the bird poop 🤦‍♀️.

Big tomatoes, finally!

Margaret Curtain, it looks like it's being munched on by stink bugs, but I'm gonna eat it anyway :lol:

Tennessee Suited, one of my favorites. A very productive (for me) dwarf tomato, with striped fruit.

Lots of little tomatoes, and Tennessee Suited. Lots of Tennessee Suited. A couple small tomatoes on margaret curtain and new big dwarf, other than that, no big tomatoes yet, plenty of fallen blossoms, though. Juliet and Anna's Multiflora are loaded. They're both good for sauce, Anna's are pretty good for fresh eating too.

I was out there last night, I didn't see any tomatoes blushing, but I checked a few minutes ago, and hey! Tomatoes!

I would not have seen that Sunrise Bumblebee of the Anna's and Juliet hadn't been blushing, it was buried deep within the plant.

We have tomatoes! Mostly Juliet and Anna's Multiflora, and I've picked one each of blush, Japanese Black Trifele, Jaune Flamme, and Sunrise Bumblebee.

And of course, this brings us to the first blt of the season.

The "lettuce" was actually some of the cabbage from my salad mix, but everyone knows that the lettuce part is optional anyway.

Will I actually have big tomatoes before August?

I love this variety. It pumps out tomatoes like crazy and it's early.

Margaret Curtain! It'll be ripe in a couple days. Can't wait, this one has a really great flavor.

Fresh salsa! I only grew the tomatoes and jalapeños, but they're very good tomatoes and jalapeños 🤣

Found some old salsa jars to store it in.

Look at all these! 😍

My big tomatoes have been slow going, I have a million Juliet and Anna's Multiflora and Blush, which are all small and highly productive and I didn't want to pick tiny tomatoes any more, so I abandoned my garden for a few days. Then decided to pick today and everything is ripening! I've only had one other Dwarf Mr Snow, and it was bug eaten (I was very bad and didn't stake the dwarfs, found out New Big Dwarf likes to sprawl), so that one is exciting. Also have Pineapple, Orange Jazz, 1884 (haven't tried it yet), GGWT, Margaret Curtain, Mortgage Lifter (I don't know which strain, I got them from baker creek, the tomatoes are small, but very good), and New Big Dwarf.

It looks like they were worth the wait. I hope that you enjoy them.
