The First Two Early Girl Tomatoes
Not too big, not too small… They’re just right.
Picked on Saturday, Jun 14, 2014
With the stem on, these ripen beautifully on the counter. Just be sure that they’re close to about 80% ripe.

One Lemon Boy, 9 big Juliets, 24 Tami G, and 24 Sun Gold… the Juliets are really beautiful this year. And, the Tami G tomatoes are all oddly small, but sweet and tasty.
Do you see what looks like a plump cherry tomato (upper right). That’s actually a perfectly ripe Sun Gold. It’s so dark gold that it’s nearly orange. It’s placed on top of the pile picked today. In about two days, they’ll all be that beautiful dark golden orange. The taste? It’s the perfect blend of sweet and savory tomato perfection.
The Early Girls, Today
They’ve ripened perfectly on the counter. Tonight, we’ll be tasting them for the first time.
I love our tiny little garden.
