Today's harvest includes 32 Black Cherry, 16 Babywine, 14 Yellow Perfection, 11 Snow White(1), 10 Garden Peach(2), 5 Oaxacan Jewel(2), 5 Snow White(2), 3 front yard Husky Cherry Red, 3 back yard Husky Cherry Red, 3 Paul Robeson, 2 Orange Blossom, 2 German Orange Strawberry, 2 Silvery Fir Tree, Jaune Coeur de Pigeon, Mong, Red Currant, Amazon Chocolate and Plum Tigris for a total of 113 tomatoes.
32 harvested tomatoes is the highest harvest total for Black Cherry in 2009. It makes little sense that the highest harvest day is September 8 when the first rush came in late July. Not that I'm objecting, mind you, I just can't fully explain it!
Well, I guess I can explain most of it if you add the heat wave harvest bump to a second wind for the Black Cherry tomato plant.
I see very few new blooms on the tomatoes. The heat wave has burned them out and sterilized them, as expected. When these numbers settle down, they will drop down hard and stay down.
Still, today's harvest total is 377% more than just eight days ago. Crazy!
Babywine has reached 300 harvested tomatoes for the year.
My wife made tomato sauce yesterday afternoon. I helped out this time but she's the one that made it. It took a couple of hours but it was fun!
Today (again) we didn't harvest from a single container plant.
