Ok - I had my first, maybe not quite ripe, cherry tomato - a Rosalita
(pink), a bit tart, but just a few more days and I'll have ripe ones
for sure. The rest of the cherry tomatoes are few weeks away I think.

Speaking of tomatoes, my understanding was that determinant tomatoes
all ripped at the same time, but I have a Glacier with ripe tomatoes
and just set, green fruit!? Is this another urban legend biting the
dust, or is this just something odd about Glacier?


It doesn't sound right to me. The genetic determination limits the number
of nodes but they still have to develop in sequence so the fruit must be of
different ages and maturity. It sounds to me like this is an unwarranted
extrapolation that gets passed around as a fact.

Well, I've eaten the first 2 facts, and the rest are waiting in the
wings at different stages of development. The Glacier was only supposed
to be 30" (0.762M) tall, and it is 5' (1.5M) easy. So as you were sayin'
.. . . ?
