Just ate my first New Yorker tomato yesterday. I have two others picked, waiting to finish turning red. They seem prone to having a green top, like several of the big tomatoes do. It was good, juicy, very tomato-ey taste. Not big, a little smaller than a tennis ball.

One of my two New Yorker plants is getting a lot of yellow splotched leaves. The other plants aren't, yet. Will have to keep an eye on them.

Are those yellow splotch leaves blight? I've always wondered if that's what it is.

That's what mine look like too, major. I think the yellow tomatoes are getting it too. I put some shade cloth over the New Yorkers, as they have lost a lot of leaves, and didn't want the maters scorched by the sun.

As fast as this variety matures, should be a great tomato for the true north.
