Got my first ripe tomato

Cheryl (in NH) I've gotten half a dozen yellow cherry tomatoes off of my plant so far with dozen's more starting to ripen up. My 3 other tomato plants have lots of fruit but are very slow ripening. I'm being patient (not!) but am looking forward to making plenty of gazpacho, marinara and caprese salad this summer. All 4 of my plants are in 5 gallon pots and seem to be thriving. Jon Mine are on pots too and we got first ripe ones this week here in northern Delaware. Little late but it's been cooler than normal. Only had the AC on one day, all summer. Frank I have beautiful tomato plants -- about a foot tall. Some of them haven't even started blooming yet. I saw one has a few pea-sized tomatoes, so I may get some yet (in September. If it doesn't freeze before then.) It's been downright chilly this July. I think it has dropped down into the 40's at night a couple of times. The volunteer tomatillos have passed up the tomato plants. They don't have any fruit yet, but they are blooming like crazy, and it won't take them long to develop once they set. The peppers and eggplants haven't really grown much at all since I set them out about 6 or 7 weeks ago. The cantaloupes have finally taken off; the vines are short but they look healthy and have lots of blooms. No melons yet. Serves me right for planting nothing but hot-weather crops this year.
