This is a "green when ripe"-tomato.

This variety produces loads of tomatoes all season. The taste medium sweet, and have a good tomato flavour. I love using this tomato in stir fry cooking,  but it is also good for making sauce.
I brought my seeds all the way from Thailand to Norway!

 

 



 

 The tomato is named after its shape and color. It looks like an egg!


 

 

The tomatoes first turn white before ripening, to lovely, pink tomato eggs :-)

MID SUMMER: Ripe tomatoes!

Finally the time has come - the time I was dreaming about when I first plantet my tomato seeds in February! (I actually started sowing late January this year!)
Many of my tomato varieties ripen now and I'm enjoying tomato salads, bruscetta, bread with tomato slices and more...  every day! When I'm in my greehouse, I can't resist picking tomatoes right from the vine as a mouthwatering treat ;-)

Here are some pictures: (Click on photos to enlarge)

This was a small selection of my colorful crop! Many tomatoes are ripe, But I'm still waiting for the late varieties to ripen. I expect them ripening within a few weeks!

 

Have a great day!
