Tomato Harvest

 

Starting to enjoy natures bounty...  :-)

I've been pulling yellow cherry tomatoes off all week. Very tasty though he
skin is a bit tough.

I took a medium sized yellow heirloom (been ripening in a paper bag) and
will take a large red big boy off the vine this evening to make Caprese.

Hope the fruit on my Brandywine heirloom starts to ripen soon.

 I hope the fruit on any of my tomato plants starts to appear soon!
We've had a lousy summer so far for any of the heat loving vegetables,
tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, etc.

We're in London ON and IIRC one degree south of you and I'd guess 40K
away.

I feel your pain.

Our cold weather crops are doing better than usual and we're planting
more for the fall

Tomatoes etc. are 2 to 3 weeks behind. We're seeing fruiting though the
fruits seem to be marking time due to the cool and *dim*. There hasn't
been much sun this year.

 



Isn't it great?  I am bringing in about 20 tomatoes daily now.  We are
almost having trouble keeping up with them.  (There's a box of eight red and
yellow tomatoes on the desk right now that didn't get eaten the last few
days.  The peach, orange, and white ones go fast, so we are always left with
the red and yellow.)  Every time I pull off handfuls of small tomatoes, I
get bummed because the new fruit productions doesn't appear to be keeping up
with the harvest, so I know eventually we are going to run out!

That's simply cruel, posting that kind of information where the no
tomato people can read it ;-).
The only plant that has any fruit is a volunteer that I didn't have
the heart to till under this spring. I have no idea what variety it
is, only that it should be an heirloom as that's the only kind we
grow.
