Cherrokee Purple Tomato

The first pickings from my three plants are in!

The western most plant is "leggy" or more vine than anything and has finally set fruit.

The middle plant, which is where the 8 tomatoes weighting in at 37.8oz total came from has been struck with something. But I have noticed this variety of tomato has a better sense of self preservation in that the branches affected pretty much come off on their own and I would be willing to bet that if it wasn't caged they would have come off before much of the plant was affected.

the eastern most plant seems bent on growing the biggest tomatoes out of the three. It set fruit shortly after the middle plant but has yet to let them ripen, instead its fruit is just getting bigger and bigger. To the point that the fruit are about the size of commercial grown beef steaks.
