Ok - it was an orange cherry type, but it was tasty!

I only planted cherry/grape types this year, but I love a mixed tomato
salad.

Yeah, I've got just one approaching ripeness and one a few days behind it.
Other than that there are probably 20 good-sized but green ones on my
"garden" of 2 plants in an "earth box"-type container I made. I'm afraid
that every one of them will ripen at exactly the same time but I'm trying
to show patience and watching my earliest one. Don't want to pick it too
soon or too late.

Did you plant late this year, John? I figured that Knoxville and
Nashville would be close to the same ripening schedule. I've been
eating tomatoes since the first week of July.

I got quite a late start this year due to various family crises. Last year
there were ripe ones by the 4th. I'm learning as I go along and will try to
get two boxes done up next year so I can branch out a bit.
