First Tomato of the Season

I picked our first garden tomato of the season just now. The peaches are almost finished, and the tomatoes seem behind schedule. This one may look unripe because it has so much green on it, but it is definitely ripe.

Something was eating the tomatoes while they were very green and hard, and the way they were boring into the fruit did not look like a squirrel. H looked carefully last week and saw some large green caterpillars munching away, so it was easy to pluck those things off to remove them. They were also eating away the leaves of the plants - stripping them bare.
