First Tomato to Break in 2012: Kimberley!

Kimberley also wins the prize for the first tomato to break color. It beat Sun Gold by two days. The tomato turned a light yellow-green color on August 9th, 67 days after transplant. By the next day the tomato was a golden color with a hint of orange, and two days after that it had turned red-orange.

The first Sun Gold plant had fruit blushing by August 11th, 69 days after transplant, about the same as last year when it took 68 days.
