An example of the tomatoes from each of the 4 plants. They all have slightly green interiors.

So excited that all the plants produced.The plants with slightly smaller fruit have produced more abundantly. The plants with slightly larger fruit have produced at a slower pace. We have decided that all the plants are indeterminate.

Our favorite tomatoes so far! The sweetest and fastest to produce. Nice compact sized tomatoes.

These little beauties were the winners of our taste test. Nice tomatoes flavor with a deep red color. Little patches of dark purplish color.

Students were super excited to be a part of the citizen scientist project. Rene, student on the right, is an excellent tomato grower and an inspired gardener.

reddish green outside, chartreuse inside. Marble size  but not too many; maybe because of less sun. Looks pretty cut into a salad. No pests.

Another plant was bright red and sweet. I ate the one tomato.

My tomatoes had a hard time adjusting to the recent move. They are starting to show small ones for now but seem to be struggling. I will continue to fertilize and give aloha to my plants.

# data[].attributes.body
The fruit from this plant is crunchy and sweet. It’s much larger than the previous plant and so far, it is my favorite. Still waiting for 2 more plants to fruit to do a taste test.

# data[].attributes.body
Tastes great, too! Sorry, ate the other ones before I remembered I should take pictures ...

# data[].attributes.body
Bright color! Looks very appetizing!

# data[].attributes.body
Dark inside, "pops" in your mouth - delicious, although not as attractive as Kalama Valley Plant 2 - may need marketing versus simply placing for sale

# data[].attributes.body
dark (purple?) skin, no pest issues

# data[].attributes.body
Ended up being the small red variety. Leaf miners might be the death of the plant though.

Ok.... so now that it's finally DRY in Kona, my tomatoes are so very happy. I have 5 plants all in tomato cages and all growing well. One of the plants has a few "double" stems of fruit coming on it. (photo above) Did any of you see this characteristic on your plants? I'm going to save seed from just these fruits and see if I can double my production in future plantings....

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
The golden/orange egg shaped tomato was my favorite.  It was sweet with a tender skin.  The skin on the big red ones was tough, but they were tasty.  

# data[].attributes.body
This is a beautiful plant and it is going off right now!!

# data[].attributes.body
Taste test #2. The yellow is my plant #1 and the red is #2. The red has really tough skin, the yellow is softer; the flavors are slightly different but I prefer #2. And the spider mites LOVE the #1 plant nearly to death and have left the #2 plant alone. And the #2 plant is highly prolific, 10+x the #1 plant. How to choose?

# data[].attributes.body
Some issues with the leaves but the fruit are beautiful!

# data[].attributes.body
My plant #1 is finally showing it's true colors, Yellow! They aren't quite ripe yet so time will tell about the flavor.

# data[].attributes.body
Fruits from Plant #4 - the fruits are more oblong and there are some black streaks towards the top of fruit.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the one I grafted last month due to the weight of the plant being too  heavy and the plant almost snapped in half. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the graft is healing properly. There are still some fruit on the plant. I’ll wait a bit before removing the dead branch to see if it will bounce back. On a positive note, a new branch started growing below the grafted stem and its growing well. Should be flowering soon !

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
Plant # 1 - seems to be the most rigorous plant so far ! 

# data[].attributes.body
This plant is at least 6ft tall now growing along side some Lima beans on a cattle panel trellis. The tomatoes are mostly green but there is a small hint of black streaks. Can’t wait to see how the fruit turns out !

# data[].attributes.body
Each tomato plant is producing fruits very different from the others. It's hard to pick a favorite!

# data[].attributes.body
My tomatoes are about five feet tall and have flowers! They are under the eaves on the lee side of the house to stay away from the ferocious winds we have been experiencing. I hope to have some fruit set soon!

# data[].attributes.body
Did a taste test of 2 of my tomatoes and compared with Chadwick (seeds from Hawaii Seed Growers Network). My #2 plant is the most prolific, lots of red tomatoes, no cracking, but the skin is really tough and the flavor is watery and not impressive. The #3 plant has greenish/brown fruits, the skin is much softer and the flavor is better. I also had Chadwicks which have a thin skin and good flavor. Interesting to compare. I have 2 more plants that are much slower ripening, they are just starting to blush color now. My seeds are drying now.

# data[].attributes.body
They've really been taking their time in turning color. Tomorrow I'll give a pinch to see if they're done.
After this plant set fruit there were hardly any more flowers, even on the other plants. They started up again last week.

# data[].attributes.body
I ate it before reading the instructions not to. It was very tomatoey. It was the only fruit on that vine but there are some more flowers.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my farm. I have lettuce, kale, chives, tomato, dill, cilantro, ready to eat and zucchini, watermelon, pigeon pea flowering, and lots of baby flowers.

# data[].attributes.body
These fruits are more like what I expected.

# data[].attributes.body
The fruits on this one are round like cherry tomatoes.

# data[].attributes.body
This plant is about 5 feet tall. No fruits or flowers yet. It keeps growing up. (The sticks and orange flags are to keep the hens out.) I planted perennial peanut around the edges hoping to add some nitrogen. Leaf miners continue to be an issue.

Nancy Redfeather - Kona:  Yea, I finally have 5 healthy growing tomato plants in the ground. They are about 3 feet tall and have just started to flower.  It's been sunnier lately and they like that a lot!  Here is a photo of one of the flower clusters.  Tomato flowers look like little birds....   .

The other, not so much of the indigo tint.
This plant approximately 3’9” as of today.

Some ripened fruit, ready to harvest and eat. The rest still green, but tons of different sizes as they mature.

Trying to heal a broken stem with a small piece of wood and lots of grafting tape 🤞

# data[].attributes.body
Found a broken branch towards the bottom of one of my tomato plant 😩. This plant is at least 4ft tall and the broken stem is about a foot down from the ground. Trying to save this plant as it has flowers and fruits developing. Hope it heals.

# data[].attributes.body
It's time for a taste test.....

# data[].attributes.body
Just realized we do have a fruit! It’s beautiful!

My tomatoes are growing nicely in lower Manoa. One of them didn't make it but the others looks happy. Planning to move in 2 weeks and will transplant into bigger pots, soon.

# data[].attributes.body
But they are doing great so far 💕

# data[].attributes.body
Love this purple!!

# data[].attributes.body
I lost one of my tomatoes due to a slug eating through the stem. Plant #1 has a terrible spider mite infestation that I've been trying to control with a home brew "safer soap". Plant #2 has red tomatoes and I think I'll try the first one tomorrow. Plants #3 and #4 have less fruit and are slightly behind #2. I had 11" of rain in August, so there were many blossoms that dropped without being pollinated.

# data[].attributes.body
I have flowers forming on 3 out of 4 of my tomato plants. One of them has 2 small tomatoes forming. The strongest tomato plant is now about 4 ft tall.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my 4 tomato plants has wilt towards the top of the plant. I ended up snipping it off about a week ago and the rest of the plant looks healthy. Not sure if it will continue to grow.

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
The lower leaves have lots of leaf miners.

# data[].attributes.body
Three of my five plants are succumbing to wilt. I think it's wilt. Two are still hanging in there...I'm wondering if I should pull the other three, maybe it's too late. I did take a few suckers to keep in water to root...not sure if it's worth a try. :( Sadness!

# data[].attributes.body
I have a total of 10 tiny tomatoes with bunches of flowers on 3 plants. Two more plants don't have flowers yet. All 5 seem to be indeterminate.

# data[].attributes.body
Look at these cute little flowers! We are curious to see what tomatoes will look and taste like!

# data[].attributes.body
All the plants are doing well and the tallest one is about 3ft tall! We think this one is an indeterminate variety! All of them have started flowering and we have hopes to get them in the ground soon!

# data[].attributes.body
12 days from out of the pots and into the ground!

# data[].attributes.body
One of them doesn’t have any, I think because something is eating through the flower stems before they can fruit. This one plant has also had entire leaves eaten overnight. Any ideas on the cause and what I can do to stop it or should I consider this plant the tribute so that the others can be successful?

# data[].attributes.body
Two of them have fruit that’s more green.

# data[].attributes.body
One of my plants has green fruits with dark stripes, I named it Indigo Girl.
