Finally!

 After waiting and watching for what felt like forever, our tomatoes are finally ripening and ready for picking!

On the left, Black Beauty; on the right, Rose de Berne.

Although I tried, they didn't get consistent watering, thanks to several major rain storms, some of which lasted for days. Even with the cracking, there was no spoiling and still plenty of fruit!

Cracking can happen when the plant is heavily watered, particularly after a drought.

Although I just love the color of the black beauty tomatoes, the flavor of the Rose de Berne is so good!

Tomato sandwich for dinner!
