I just picked a handful of cherry tomatoes off of an outdoor Anmore Dew Drops and Anmore Treasures. Those two varieties beat the high tunnel in earliness as outdoor plants.

Here are a couple high tunnel pics taken just now.

Those two varieties are leading the way in the high tunnel. Agatha and Grot deserve a mention, too. It's been cloudy and wet. In the first pic above, you can see some sporadic yellowing. I have that intermittently around the garden. I don't know if it's early blight. I am always reluctant to spray, and am hoping most plants will grow out of it. If they don't I don't want them back, anyway. Sol Gold looks like the weak sister in that regard, but the plants are looking ok otherwise. It will still need to taste very good to get me to keep it.
