We had our first ripe tomato last night. It was an Early Girl. The shoulder was still a bit under-ripe and mealy, but the rest was tasty. It was barely enough to top two burgers. It was from a plant in the hoophouse, the only one with ripe or anywhere near ripe in the garden.
We bested last year’s first (Ultimate Opener)harvest date, but only by a few days. Guess Early Girl will have to be a regular variety in our garden now.
