Harvested Tomatoes

The products of Sharon’s harvesting of yesterday and today are shown above.

Note there are 2 dark Tomatoes in the forefront which Sharon was able to identify as Cherokee Purple Tomatoes [Solanum lycopersicum ‘Cherokee purple’].

As she did not knowingly plant any Cherokee Purple Tomatoes, she talked to the proprietor of Minge’s Nursery who said that they did have Cherokee Purple Tomatoes and that it was possible that some of the labels were exchanged. Some kids had taken labels out of the pots and possibly they were replaced in the wrong pots.
