The Tomato Plants Are Tired


Today's harvest includes 24 Black Cherry, 17 Snow White, 12 Red Currant, 9 Babywine, 8 Jaune Coeur de Pigeon, 7 Sweet 100, 5 Tiger Paw, 5 Oaxacan Jewel(2), 4 White Currant, 4 White Zebra, 3 Italian Ice, 3 back yard Husky Cherry Red, 3 Paul Robeson, 3 Super Snow White, 3 front yard Green Grape, 2 Pierce's Pride, 2 back yard Garden Peach(2), 2 Berkeley Tie Dye (8.5 ounces, 15 ounces), 2 Yellow Perfection, 2 Plum Tigris, 2 Green Zebra(2), 2 Patio, 2 Red Grape, 2 Vintage Wine, 2 front yard Garden Peach, a front yard Husky Cherry Red, a front yard Mexico, Black Krim, SunSugar, Amazon Chocolate, a back yard Green Grape, Black From Tula (8.5 ounces), a back yard Mexico (24.5 ounces), Japanese Black Trifele and Aunt Ruby's German Green for a total of 140 tomatoes.

My wife watered the front yard yesterday. It was still damp in the front yard from it. Technically that's a no-no, but the plants are old and the air is dry so there's really no harm to occur. In general – water in the morning.

Almost all the tomato plants are leaning over or are doubled over.

I didn't notice until yesterday that we picked more tomatoes in July 2009 than in all of 2008.
