Not much has happened with the tomatoes. The front yard tomatoes look worse than the back yard tomatoes but it all doesn't matter – we're pulling them all. We went through about three rain storms and there was an extended drying period. Then we were busy. The zombie plants just sat there.
Yesterday our gardener took out Mong and Old Ivory Egg. Also, he got rid of all the branches that were hanging over the “koi pond” fence. That has more than filled up our green trash can. We'll wait until they are emptied and if time permits, we'll pull out some more plants.
I actually did harvest about a half dozen tomatoes in the back yard...but because of the freeze followed by about a week of rain I've lost interest.
Here's the top 10 harvest totals for 2009:
Snow White(1): 1419
Red Currant: 1278
Snow White(2): 1110
Black Cherry: 946
Yellow Perfection: 545
Babywine: 517
White Currant: 448
Husky Cherry Red (back yard): 409
Red Grape: 370
Total counted harvest came to 11,155 tomatoes. It was a really good year!
