I've picked 2 sungold, 1 beauty queen, 1 lemon, around 8 small black oval tomatoes (can't find the tag & can't remember the variety); these were already ripe when I picked them. I've also picked several early girls, which are coloring up in my kitchen. Yes, this looks better than last year to me, too! Good flavor so far & I think all varieties have set fruit. Other veggies are doing well, too - bean & zuke production will soon outpace my demand for them & peppers & eggs are setting fruits, tho they're small due to my sluggishness in getting them planted.

Thanks Sey. It's my first year growing CP. Very impressed by its size, earliness, productivety, disease resistance, and taste. Its productivity is comparable to big beef. I grow 5 CP plants and have picked around 10 fruits/per CP plant since July: the smallest is one half pound and the largest one is in the picture. Notice that I put its taste last -- my "other" tomatoes all have great taste because I don't water and fertilize after the plants went into the holes. But CP has thin skin and soft meat and more watery than other types. I have been thinking, sey, that cutting back fertilizer and water may help you get early ripe fruits.

We've been enjoying them for about a month now but I took this pic of some of the first Cherokee Purple. the Lynnwood, kmicic, black sea man and tarasenko 2 are all ripening like mad in the hot weather we've been having. I'll make the first batch of tomato jam tomorrow.

Very pretty! I haven't grown any of those but the Noir one looks like my type of tomato. Taste?
