First tomato of the season!

When I went outside earlier I didn't expect to find a ripe tomato, but I surely did! This is the first ripe one of the season. It isn't huge, but it was perfect. It was picked, washed and eaten while it was still warm from the sun!
This is just the first of many as there appears to be several hundred on the two plants. The hot sun and and high humidity isn't hurting those 'maters at all.
PS: Yesterday it was 98 degrees and the humidity was a killer...today will be the same.

Kill them? Me...just because I snapped off one small limb weeks ago LOL! The plants are huge, no one misses that small limb.

@AbbyGreenhill I can hear the thunder right now and if it's rain I will not complain, it's 6:40 PM and I would skip to go out and water the veggies.

We don't can any more - these really aren't the canning type. We will eat as many as we can and feed a few friends and neighbors.

They say the humidity will leave for a few days which will make it feel cooler, at least for two days. 90 is better than 98.

The first thing the photo made me think was-there's a photo of a tomato on our kitchen counter. How did we get the same counters? Hmmm...You have wonder taste!

It seems to be a favorite granite for several people. I love it.

@boiboing I don't like what the smell of the vines does to my fingers.

I am sure it was a tasty tomato! We have a couple of green ones on our vine that seems like it is taking forever to turn red!

We picked two varieties that claim they don't all come in at once, which is usually what has happened in prior year. Right now we have tiny tiny ones, large ones, and all sizes in between.

This time last year our plants were full of bugs, so far so good this year.
