First harvest!! Just under 3 months from seed, both the Bonsai and the Pinnochio tomato plants had two ripe tomatoes and a bunch of other varieties like Window Box Red are looking close.
Given we found two ripe ones of each, my wife and I did a taste test. The Pinnochio was a yellow and a bit smaller. It had a sharp burst of flavor, decently sweet but with some acid. The Bonsai was red with a bit larger fruit. It had a milder, more classic “red tomato” taste and was juicier. We also compared to a more traditional “Sweet Million” grown in my greenhouse. The main difference was the Sweet Million was much sweeter 🙂
Indoors, we are seeing some more plants setting tomato fruit and a few varieties like the Bonsai are seeing some fruit starting to turn red.
