This 'n' that

ksmithTomatoes. I wound up with nine.
They stayed green for the longest time. A couple of weeks ago, I cut them down, along with lengths of vine and hung them in the back door window, which faces south. Nothing for a couple of weeks--I considered dumping them and calling the whole thing a wash. Then suddenly over the last few days:
The Tobolsk, which are bright yellow-orange:
The Black Krim, with a maroon-green underside and green top:
The bigger ones all give a little when I press them. I want to give the Black Krim a couple more days, but am tempted to give the bright Tobolsk a try tonight. Along with these, there's a cluster of five much smaller tomatoes. I think they're Black Krim, but I'm not sure. Whichever, if they taste even halfway decent, I will try again in the Spring. Only this time, I will start them in the cellar with a light sometime in March.
And finally:
Herself the Elf (sans tail because I'm such a photographer):
And the King, looking sheepish for some reason:
The food bowl is Gaby's. Having to eat around the bumps has really slowed her down.
