Tomato... To-Mah-To ... part 2

My favorite heirloom - Mr Stripey grew about 4" this week and now has 2 blooms!

Cherokee purple - another amazing heirloom - grew 4" as well but no blooms yet.

The chocolate cherry is one of the Angie's favorite salad tomatoes

For the first time this year - I have the yellow pear - supposed to be the size of a cherry but pear shaped.  Most yellow tomatoes are lower acid (not that acid bothers me - but sometimes are better with more delicate pasta and seafood dishes) and should be cool tossed into a salad.

I also have an ace - pretty high yield round red tomato.

And sharing a window box with my cucumbers is a super sweet 100
