I am daily examining my plants for fruit set. I hope to have some ready for the tasting August 26th. Is it generally five weeks from fruit set to ripe fruit? I think that holds true for the cherry/small fruited tomatoes, but it can take longer for the big beefsteak ones, especially if the weather is cool.

Reporting from Oakland: we've had some warm days here sandwiched with fog.

I have fruit on cherries: Sungold, Sugar Lump, Sweet Baby Girl Hybrid, Sweet Quartz Hybrid.

Larger-fruited early ones, fruit is a reasonable size and growing: Early Girl Hybrid, Visitacion Valley, Stupice.

Tiny fruit (pea-sized or a bit bigger) on: Russian #117, Lithuanian, Wispy Critter, Mister Potato Leaf ("Mr. Mango"), County Agent, Clear Pink Early, Rouge D'Irak, Del Mar, Hawaiian Pineapple, Honey, Momotaro Hybrid, Odoriko Hybrid, Tatar from Mongolistan, Opalka.

That's about it for right now. Many planted later haven't started blooming yet. Ernesto was planted earlier but hasn't even flowered yet and is a big green bush. :-\

What about labels? Should we include seed origin as well as name? What about font?

What about a logo?

I can bring brownies and am open to other suggestions.

Thanks.
