| dave | On April 11, 2023 | Harvested Finished fermentation and got the seeds dried. Strange behavior with this variety in fermentation; the pulp all floated up during ferment leaving fairly clear water on the bottom. Stirring it up only keeps it together for a few minutes and the stuff floated again. |
| dave | On April 9, 2023 | Harvested Squeezed about 75 fruits in a half gallon jar. Got a little over a quart of juice and seeds from it. |
| dave | On April 1, 2023 | Fruit Ripened As of today I have harvested about a quart of fruits. They are really nice with a beautiful blush color, firm fruited and larger than other micro tomatoes. They also have exhibited antho on the tops that seems to disappear upon ripening. |
