Image description: A close up shot of a hand holding two cherry tomatoes. The tomatoes are about the size of a US quarter, and are mottled red and brownish-green.

Extremely pleased to have harvested my first tomatoes of the year just now. This variety is called Chocolate Sprinkles, and is the only cherry-sized tomato I planted on purpose. I also have Mr. Stripey and Cherokee Purple tomatoes for slicing, some San Marzano (-style) for paste/canning , and some volunteers that haven't fruited yet, but I suspect they are Yellow Pear and/or Sungold cherry tomatoes.

I gave these a quick rinse, then sliced and sprinkled with a little salt. Really looking forward to the rest of the summer.
