Mystery tomato #1 -- a Roma, perhaps?
(Oh, there's a bug on the stem!)
There is a fruit on the other plant as well -- some kind of heirloom tomato, which is odd as I don't usually buy those at the supermarket, so it must be something that seeded itself from the last time we had plants, the year before last. We never did get any tomatoes off of those, so it will be interesting to see what happens now.
The two plants in the bale seem to be doing tolerably well -- we had a bit of a hot spell a few weeks after I planted them, and the lower leaves on this plant never really recovered, but it's fruiting now! with more blossoms opening. I've fed them, which I don't generally do with tomatoes in the ground, and I water them every other day lately, as it hasn't been unusually warm yet.
(I love the look of green tomatoes, all the subtle gradations of color, and that silvery haze of almost needly fuzz --)
