Gold Nugget tomatoes

Probably a dumb question but are they yellow when ripe? I've never had a ripe yellow tomato. I need to try them

The nice thing about Gold Nugget tomatoes is that they are open pollinated. If you grow them away from other tomatoes, you can save the seeds and they will grow into Gold Nugget tomatoes.

I read that they are seedless. Or mostly seedless

They can be nearly seedless but are definitely not seedless.

Interesting. Might have to try them out

Their taste improves with the quality of the soil they grow in. I add azomite to bring out the full flavors of my tomatoes.

It's been a busy week. Cabbage is planted. Potatoes are sprouting.

Something is jumping in and digging in the potato row. It looks like chicken dust bathing holes. I sat crates in the row and it dug beside the crates. May set a live trap. I'm thinking maybe a cat or squirrel??? My chickens are in a covered run.
Oops I got my finger.

Bees were all over the collards blooms.

Black Krim and Big Beef tomatoes are ready for planting out. We have a possible frost coming mid week after having 90 degree temps for several days. Hoping it will be the last frost.

My peas just started blooming, too.

When my collards started bolting I pulled one up each day and gave them to my piranhas chickens.

They stripped them to the stalk.

I was visiting my daughter in Colorado in February. As she was running her plans for this year's garden past me, she mentioned growing sweet peas "to eat" because they looked and smelled better than "regular" peas. I almost felt like a failure as a parent. How did I let her get to her age and she had thoughts like this?

DH cut a collard plant off at the ground with loppers.
It was set up in the run. Looked like a Christmas tree with all those flowers until they attacked.
