Volunteer Tomatoes in Steubenville, Ohio

(Originally posted on YouTube)
I originally found this volunteer tomato plant on September 16, 2018 growing next to a compost pile outside the landscape maintenance building at Franciscan University. By the time the tomatoes were ripe enough to easily come off the vine, they were still pale red in color and had firm flesh. Hopefully they still taste good. I’ll post an update to the description if I get a chance to taste the tomatoes.

Update Oct. 7, 2018: I finally got a chance to taste the tomato while scooping out the seeds. In spite of having flesh firmer than most beefsteak tomatoes I’ve grown and pale red skin, the flesh was still juicy and flavorful. I am definitely planning on growing some seeds from this fruit next year and canning some to make tomato sauce.
