Where Did The Summer Go?

And today's harvest includes 17 Snow White(2), 9 Snow White(1), Babywine, Jaune Coeur de Pigeon, Garden Peach, Green Zebra(2), White Zebra, Sweet 100, Italian Ice, White Currant and a back yard Husky Cherry Red for a total of 35 tomatoes.

We've now harvested over 1300 Snow White(1) tomatoes (1304)!

Also, we've harvested exactly 10,500 tomatoes for the year.

Where did the summer go? Yesterday's low was 44.8 degrees at Pierce College. Yesterday's high was 67.8. Today's low was 42.9 degrees!

The cool evenings are the reason our harvest numbers have fallen dramatically. That's okay, it was going to happen eventually. However, if it warms up again, don't be surprised if the numbers start to rise again. There's still a fair amount of tomatoes on both the Snow White plants.

Because yesterday was so temperate during the day, my wife and I did a lot of gardening. A patch of soil in the back yard was turned and prepared for planting. A bunch of winter crops were planted in that space. In the front yard a rosemary was pulled out, a rose was transplanted, another plant was pulled out and a lantana took the space.

The garage was cleaned and rearranged by my wife. We took out our air conditioning unit in the bedroom and put it away. Hey, where did the day go?

On Saturday my wife and I were in the front yard. I mentioned to her that several mature Black Krim tomatoes were partially eaten and had to be thrown away – there's probably a caterpillar somewhere. After about 20 seconds of searching...hey, there it is! Hopefully that problem is now resolved.

My wife watered the back yard tomato plants while I was preparing the winter vegetable garden.
