Tomatoes and Pears

We built a small bamboo pergola for our opo gourd to climb now. With all our tomatoes, egg plants, and other vegetables, the vegetable bed looks packed and we don't have room for anything else. The list of tomatoes we are growing are:

1. New Big Dwarf: released in 1915 as a cross between Ponderosa and Dwarf Champion. Compact plant, large pink beefsteak with rugose leaves. 90-days,
2. Golden Dwarf Champion: compact plant with rugose leaves. Medium round butter-yellow fruit. 83 days.
3. Lime Green Salad: Beautiful compact plant. The fruit is bright green ripening to a yellow green. 58-85 days.
4. Black Zebra: Beautiful deep green and brown stripe. 1.5" fruit with complex sweet and smokey flavours. Indeterminate. 80-85 days.
5. Tigerella: Huge crops of red fruit with orange stripes. When under ripe, they are light green with dark geen stripe. Indeterminate. 55-75 days.
6. Japanese Trifele Black: blemish free and are not subject to cracking. One of the very darkest black tomato varieties available. Determinate. 80 days.
7. Black Pear: Grey brown fruit with brown shoulders. Very productive and full of flavour. Indeterminate. 75-82 day.

We also laid in some bricks for our flower bed. Pictures will be available soon.
