GENERAL CHAT THREAD FOR CHOPTAGers

Not the best tomato year for me so far. Hot hot hot causing lots of aborts early, rain rain rain causing lots of spots. Had the most gorgeous big black brandywine tomato in my SWC that was just starting to blush. Normally, I bring my tomatoes in at first blush to ripen on the counter but it's hot and I thought well....it will ripen faster outside than inside.
And don't you know a critter got in the pot and took a big ole bite out of the bottom

So I let it ripen and it's fermenting for seeds. I did manage to get a couple of hunks to eat that weren't touched by the critter (ack) and it was one tasty tomato.

Of course, you know this means war.
