2. If I let mine go too long it goes to seed

and then it gets kind of stringy and bitter tasting, to me. So I've been harvesting our 2 plants every week-and-a-half or 2 weeks. I made some pesto before we went out of town last week and then picked some yesterday when I got home

The tomatoes are pretty and green, and would be great for fried green tomatoes...but I'm gonna let these puppies ripen. Fried green are good at the end of the season. I'm not wasting my first-croppers on that!
