   The growing season is so short around here it is   
   very frustrating.   
      
   Last year I had two yellow something or other cherry   
   tomatoes that where suppose to mature in 70 days.  They   
   had tons of fruit on them, but they did not ripen until   
   two days before the first freeze.  I must have lost   
   over 300 cherries.   
      
   Now I will only grow the sweet 100's are they mature   
   and ripen really quickly really
