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.


I have one Big Boy just about ready to go, and another starting to
turn. Then there's a big gap due to an unseasonably hot June here.
There's a raft of green ones 2 inches in diameter. Should be a good
crop down the line a bit.

The poblanos have several getting to a size where I could use them
green (pork chile verde sounds good). Some I will let ripen to dry for
ancho use.

Haven't tried growing full sized tomatoes this year. Last year, I only got
about 3 tomatoes off the 5 plants I had of things like Aunt Ruby's and Green
Zebra and something Black.

Enjoy the poblanos; they'll grow here but the flavor is only so-so.
