13. The tomato I used ripened so much faster than the rest

There are a few that should be ripe in a couple of days but I suspect the heat in the forecast will hasten things.

I make stewed tomatoes and freeze them for making soups, chili, stews and curries during the cold season. And Marinara sauce.

Usually I plant Golden Jubilee tomatoes because they are lower in acid but I had such horrible luck with all of the tomatoes last year I decided to simplify. Now I'm regretting that decision.
