It’s mid September and this one tomato plant from seed is still going strong! There was more to pick on the plant but I saved it for tomorrow. I absolutely love these tomatoes and will be growing them next year. I harvest about 1 to 2 days before ready when they are a nice red/pink and leave on the counter to continue deepening in flavor and color. Once they give a little at touch and are a deep reddish purple they are perfect to eat. Juicy and sweet! I’ve given plenty of pints this year as gifts because we can’t keep up!

Started these from seed indoors and planted in my raised garden in the spring. The single plant absolutely took off and has yielded hundreds and hundreds of tomatoes. We literally can't keep up with them. The photo is from one harvest session over lunch from a single plant!
