Stunning tomatoes! I was thinking about how carefully you handled them, like they were newborn puppies, and then you dropped one. 😉As my area is small and season is short, I've only grown two tomato varieties, one cherry with seeds from a store bought tomato, it's sweet and nice, and a determinate, little red riding hood. It's OK, I wish it had a richer taste. Oh, and then there is a mystery volunteer tomato which I'm not sure will be able to ripen in time. Guess I haven't found my favourite yet. There are so many varieties I'd like to try, I need a large greenhouse in my future home. 😅

Socrates has been prolific! It's muscling through powdery mildew and has minimal prickles to stab you when picking. I think it's best to eat at about 1" around, but is fine bigger. The skin is thinner so easy to eat and not waste those good nutrients. Don't think Socrates would pickle well. I did de-seed the Crystal Apple and tried pickling. Knock on wood, it's been a banner cuke year. I planted a succession of socrates because I had lost my cukes to the cuke beetle last year, and was hedging my bets.
