First Tomatoes were picked today. These are Mini Gold.

Very pretty color! I bet they taste sweet.

Yes, it reminds me of Sun Gold. Cherry tomatoes like this is a good garden snack. I don't care much for raw tomatoes except cherry ones.

@HmooseK, I enjoy cherry tomatoes right off the vine also, I like large tomatoes but only on sandwich or burger though.

BLT Tomatoes just go so well with bacon , lettuce and Mayo

Happily, Sun Gold will probably be my earliest tomato. I'm trying an open-pollinated replacement for Sweet 100 again this year but I have trouble imagining something as good as Sun Gold.

Maybe Sun Sugar ... The Japanese seed companies did real good work with these golden cherries. There has been a "competition" in my garden between Sun Gold and Sun Sugar every year for over a decade. This year, I thought the series might come to an end (in a tie ). My Sun Sugar seed was old and didn't germinate well. But, they showed up . A little less splitting but a little less flavor than the Sun Gold ...

Anait is my trial replacement for Sweet 100's. Although I like these hybrids, relying on the seed companies for them has gotten me into trouble before.

Steve how are the New Yorkers doing for you ?

YUM!! My tomato starts ( I did them ) are not growing at all. They are the same height at when I put them in. So I have tomato envy!

That they just went into the garden less than a week ago:

My tomato starts ( I did them ) are not growing at all.

That they do not look worse than before planting out, so what I'm expecting:
