...more heirlooms

it's been hot lately...[it is late August/early September...]
and the heirlooms are doing better than any I've had before...



the advantage to "growing your own", is always...
the ability to leave them to vine-ripen...
and these have...

the large orange one is "Tangerine"...
there are also some "pink Caspians", "Brandywines" & "Ace"....
as well as "Lemon boy" and some other cools ones...



such as "green zebra"...
[when the silver stripes turn orangy-yellow...
they are dead ripe...]



"Mr. Stripey" [variegated inside too...]



and "Cherokee purple", which looks darker in person...

YUM !
