Better Boy, Day 43

Absolutely mammoth, the Better Boy tomato plant is loaded with tomatoes. Here are two of the older fruits. It takes 72-82 days for fruit to ripen, which gives us a target date of August 8 to the 18th. This was already quite big as a transplant, so it might very well come in ahead of time.

The other varieties of tomatoes are also doing well. The Sungolds have loads of fruit at this point, but the Brandywine is lagging behind a bit with only three or four emerging tomatoes.
