Cricketk's Tomato 'Brandywine Pink'
Solanum lycopersicum

The very first fruit to set was eaten by worms, but the rest seem to be doing fine. We’ve now got about 5 tomatoes per plant set and getting bigger, with numerous flowers still on the plants.

I’m not sure what colour these will be when it comes time to pick them, but I can tell that they aren’t ready yet. The fruit is either bell shaped on some plants, or roma shaped on others.

I love touching the tomato plant leaves and getting that delicious smell on my fingers.

Well, the tomoto plants really took off once they were in the ground. They’re now knee height when I’m standing on the three-quarter-foot deep straw currently acting as mulch. A few of them have a few flowers attached.

Contrary to all advice I am just letting the sprinklers hit them on the leaves and they seem to be thriving. No signs of mould anywhere (knock on wood).

Looking forward (with glee) to a decent crop of tomatoes this year.
