These ones are ripening nicely. The ones in the second picture aren’t really ripening, but they look cheerful. The bell pepper I plucked from the mortar bucket and planted in a small pot quickly shed its small fruits, but it seems to still be trying to ripen the others. My tomato summary for this year: *Goldiana produces lots of small, sweet fruits. *Bumble Bee is pretty and tasty, and it was also a prolific producer. *Black Strawberry set a lot of fruit but took a loooong time to ripen. The flavor wasn’t anything special—maybe I always picked them too early. *Artisan Blushed Tiger also delivered; it’s pretty, but the flavor wasn’t anything special. It doesn’t ripen well after being picked. *Venusbrüstchen produced a decent crop; the tomatoes are nice and firm, taste good, and ripen to varying degrees. *In contrast, Butter Apple is too soft for my taste; it developed brown spots while still on the vine and had a watery flavor. Maybe I always picked them too late. They don’t ripen well after being picked. *Black Keyes set very few fruits and simply never ripened. *Amber Keyes didn’t even want to grow in the first place, and neither did Motley Mouse. *The Ananastomate was impressively large and pretty; it didn’t set very many fruits and became too soft for my taste, though it did taste quite good. *Stg. Peppers didn’t produce much at once but kept producing over and over; the first ones were very misshapen in the heat, while the later ones were typically shaped. They were pretty okay. *The one that sprouted wild tried its best, but had a hard time without a stake to support the beans. I should mention that I hardly grew any single-stemmed plants because shoots kept slipping through my fingers while I was pruning. And that I don’t have particularly refined taste buds, so some subtle flavors might have escaped me. In any case, the variety was lovely.
