...and even though it's exciting to think of the tiny seedlings pushing up every day, it's still a bit depressing to think that it's at least eighteen whole weeks until I see a ripe Verna Orange again.For some idea of how very large Verna fruits are, on average, each check in this tablecloth is two inches square. This particular tomato weighed in at 24 ounces, most of it flesh the consistency and color of a ripe mango.
This part of the season, especially with blight-sensitive (although wildly productive) Verna lasts less than four weeks. It's hard to believe that the average gardener's total tomato season really lasts, at best, for 8 weeks...So, gather ye organic home-raised produce while ye may.
