Attractive To Bees
I am doing the happy dance because there is FINALLY a tomato ripening on my windowsill, having shown its first blush this afternoon. Would have come on here sooner with the announcement but I was helping to pull stumps and then had to run errands and then was offline for *hours* putting my new, very spiffy computer desk together!
But all of that happy stuff pales beside the fact that my first tomato has begun to ripen.
Not surprisingly, it is a hybrid, the tomato known as 'Bonnie's Best', though I prefer the much more descriptive name 'Prairie Early Star' (I made that up myself).
The thing that is surprising is that it's the smallest tomato on the plant, hardly bigger than a raquetball -- and there are many others on this particular plant that are bigger but not as ripe. Go figure!
And, just like last year, the Prairie Early Star beat out the Early Girl tomatoes for just about everything, including ripening.
Will get pics etc later, am too tired right now -- about to go to bed after spending 6 dang hours putting the desk together (and it's still not done!).
