Saturday's harvest includes 13 Snow White(2), 7 Snow White(1), 2 Babywine, 2 Turkish Striped Monastery, Jaune Coeur de Pigeon, Sweet 100, Green Zebra(1) and Old Ivory Egg for a total of 28 tomatoes.
The Old Ivory Egg looks really nice! It has some green shoulders, which will need to be cut away before we eat it. It's strange to have the first summer harvest for a tomato plant be October 10!
I found a good sized caterpillar on Husky Cherry Red.
The gardener pulled out the back yard Mexico and Big Yellow Zebra tomato plants.
All but the Old Ivory Egg were given away at a post wedding reception we went to in the afternoon.
Today's harvest includes 8 Snow White(1), 6 Snow White(2), 3 White Currant, 2 Babywine, 2 Husky Cherry Red, Husky Gold, Green Zebra(1), White Zebra and Garden Peach for a total of 25 tomatoes.
We've now harvested over 500 front yard tomatoes for the month of October! That's a remarkable amount – usually the plants are much too burned out by this point in the year.
Today's tomatoes were given away to my mother, whom we met in the afternoon for lunch, along with my wife and her parents.
