Were they sweet this year?<br /><br />Fraulein Trude: If your Brandywine doesn't have enough time to fully ripen on the vine, you can pick them when the colour has started to change (I think 25% colour change is enough) and keep ripening them on your kitchen counter. I've been doing that because of the squirrels here and it seems to work pretty well!Yangszehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06739891543812219552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-57387833191614416942012-08-15T13:28:38.960+09:002012-08-15T13:28:38.960+09:00Those are beautiful tomatoes!

I mean, we were flooded last summer, as shown in the sixth photo here:<br />http://hiro-shio.blogspot.jp/2011/08/shibazuke.html<br />and I lost all my kabocha!<br /><br />Kiki: Thanks for the information. I've never heard of Brandywine. According to Wikipedia, it sounds like a very attractive variety.<br /><br />(You can always take photos of your husband's tomato plants and post them to your blog!)Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-20209551205608888322012-08-13T05:59:17.879+09:002012-08-13T05:59:17.879+09:00Your tomatoe plants are looking great.

Next week hopefully we will have a bit of summer and some may get the kick. <br />As tomato-grower, husband sends best regards - I showed him your entry and he was thrilled. He managed to plant some tomatoes called Brandywine Pink - fruits need 100 days to get red/pink. Guess we will have our frist Bradywine Pink harvest in late autumn/early winter (laugh).Fräulein Trudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786420907067152211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-843831690218438112012-08-13T02:48:37.821+09:002012-08-13T02:48:37.821+09:00I'm very jealous, Hiroyuki! Your plants all lo...I'm very jealous, Hiroyuki! Your plants all look to be doing quite well. I hope the kabocha come out nice and sweet. <br />Sadly, the extreme heat (41+ degrees Celcius!) has claimed all the plants I tried to grow this year. Hopefully this next spring I can get some Momotaro tomatoes to grow.<br />As an aside, I finally got to watch the Shinya Shokudo drama. It's such a great adaptation of the manga. Thank you for introducing your readers to it this past year!Ruminating Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09090737281402149795noreply@blogger.com
