Harvested 1000 Red Currants For 2009!


And today's harvest includes 51 Red Currant, 36 Snow White, 24 Black Cherry, 12 Jaune Coeur de Pigeon, 9 back yard Garden Peach(2), 6 Yellow Perfection, 6 Babywine, 5 Tiger Paw, 5 Black From Tula (6 ounces, 7 ounces, 13 ounces, 8.5 ounces, 9.5 ounces), 5 front yard Husky Cherry Red, 5 back yard Husky Cherry Red, 4 front yard Green Grape, 4 SunSugar, 4 Sweet 100, 3 Patio, 3 back yard Green Grape, 3 Amazon Chocolate (one 6 ounces), 3 Vintage Wine, 3 Mong, 3 Oaxacan Jewel(1) (12.5 ounces, 11 ounces), 3 Oaxacan Jewel(2), 2 Black Krim, 2 front yard Speckled Roman, 2 front yard Garden Peach, 2 White Currant, 2 Japanese Black Trifele (7 ounces), 2 back yard Mexico (17.5 ounces, 25.5 ounces), 2 back yard Garden Peach(1), 2 Cuor de Bue, Early Annie, Sweet Olive, Red Grape, Dr. Wyche's Yellow (17 ounces) and Silvery Fir Tree for a total of 218 tomatoes.

We've now picked more tomatoes in the front yard than in the back yard for July. We've picked over 2200 tomatoes in the front yard for July.

Overall we've harvested exactly 1000 Red Currants for 2009.

There's something funny when a 25.5 ounce Mexico tomato and a 17 ounce Dr. Wyche's Yellow start to seem mundane.

Speaking of which, the front yard Mexico tomato plant doesn't appear to have any more tomatoes on it. The plant itself still looks okay so a second wind is possible. And the cooler weather will help most of the plants get a second wind.
