This time as you see, I picked 55 cherry tomatoes, and 10 big ones. (I also removed 4 half eaten tomatoes, and threw them over the fence for deer, dillo, fox, or wabbit to eat.) I have to grab them before they're too red, or the birds have them for lunch.
Leaving them on the kitchen counter for a few days makes them juicy, plump and red.
It looks like Marla gets to make a 2nd Tomato Pie (which by the way, was very good) when she gets back from hell week.
There's no end in sight. I'd conservatively estimate 1,500-2,000 more green baby cherries growing, and the big tomato plants have about 30 green tomatoes or flowers on them.
The yellow pepper is blooming again, which means we're about 3 weeks out from the next batch of those. Batch #1 yielded 18 (it think it was 18), but I thinned it out to 12 or so, to ensure proper energy allocation throughout the peppers.
Listen to me... I sound like I know what i'm doing! Ha!
Note: It's weird how several of these bigger tomatoes have tons of yellow spots on them. I'm sure they'll taste fine, but I need to research why that happens. When I find out, I'll be sure to let my captivated audience know!
