Just another sample of the heirlooms. The lighting is a little deceiving. The sun was blasting through our thin green curtains. Still, the variety is great. From left to right on the image:
The small dark ones are Black Princes.
The large dark ones are Black Krims.
The medium red ones are Big Russian Romas, I think the larger on on the left is a cross with the German Queen it was growing with.
The large orange ones are Amana Oranges.
Profiles to follow after the season. It's a shame that I am having to pull some of these before they are 100% vine ripened, due mainly to foliage disease and insect damage. The color and flavor is still wonderful despite this.

I was going to say, send some my way!!! Most of mine are still green, with only pear, cherry, and a few roma varieties ripening. Even if they aren't 100% vine-ripened they sure beat the store-bought hand's down!
