This week’s harvest weighed in a 1.5 kg. Ripe varieties are Belriccio, Black Cherry, Conchita, Gardeners Delight, Mini Belle, Tigerella and Yellow Balconi. Santorage has fruit ripe to pick – but I want to wait to see if I can get a whole truss orange (its ripe colour) before picking individual fruit.
I only had one Belriccio. The creased beefsteak, a bonsai Stallone of a fruit. To borrow from apple speak – they’re not really ‘eaters’ but ‘cookers’. I tried it as it came, but the skin separates off in your mouth as you eat it – so one for the pot or grill.
( Oh and the pile of mostly, green tomatoes on the table – BER graveyard !)

Wow, those look fabulous – I wish i could reach into the screen and grab some! I’m glad your harvest is going pretty well, despite setbacks.
