Rita, Your going to love Sugary! It's a little more pink than red, and I made the mistake of thinking that they weren't ready when they really were! The fake grandkids came over and were devouring them! I told their Mom that I didn't think they were quite ripe yet, but the kids insisted that they were perfect. So, I tried one, and they were perfect! Sun Gold is really good, but if you can get Yellow Cherry, I think it's a little better. My neighbor (the one who is always begging for tomatoes), swore by Sun Gold, but I already had Yellow Cherry so I didn't get one. He tried mine, and said they were much better. So, I compared the two, and I had to agree with him. But, either will do! I really enjoy how colorful the yellow pear, yellow cherry and grape tomatoes are in a salad, if and when they make it into the house. That's not often, but it's worth hording some for a salad if you can!

I also grow Lemon Cucumber for the elderly neighbor across the street. He gets so excited about them! They are really good, but I think they are best if picked before they hit the yellow stage. We eat them like apples!

I've been enjoying zucchini and yellow summer squash for about a week now, and it sure beats the stuff you have to buy at the grocery store in the off-season! I'm going to be overwhelmed with them in about a week as the plants are really loaded!
