cherokee purple

Jozef B. sent these recent photos of his container garden. When he visited in May, I gave him some of my Cherokee Purple tomato seedlings. My seedlings have also turned into plants but they are tall and spimdly, with almost no blossoms. Jozef reports that his are growing taller day by day, are loaded with blossoms, and starting to bear fruit. I was thrilled to see the photos he sent. I guess Buffalo is having a better tomato season than here in Pennsylvania. Neighbors report that their tomatoes too are not bearing. Jozef and his wife Olga are now in Ireland for the opening of an arts festival. By the time they get back, the tomatoes should be ripe for the picking.
