Jealous? I could have let this baby stay on the vine a little longer, but last year I lost so many tomatoes to human and/or animal thieves that I chickened out and picked it (and its vine mate) last night to ripen on the counter.
It's a Jeff Davis, a late Victorian tomato named for Jefferson Davis (1808 to 1889), leader of the Confederacy in the US. It has odd leaves that make it look more like a potato vine than a tomato. However, this is clearly a tomato, and I look forward to cutting into it.
