Question: this is my first year growing Cherokee purples...is the top of the fruit supposed to be greenish when ripe? Also, I have yet to see a tomato hornworm this year, woohoo! Is that normal? It's never happened to me before growing tomatoes...

I wanted to add that my favorite is the Sungold also. JDPriestly Jul 2013 #11

I agree - Sungold isn't as available as it should be. I think it is due to the cost of the seeds. NRaleighLiberal Jul 2013 #12
