Yesterday I pulled out five more tomato plants: Black, Patio, German Orange Strawberry, Gypsy and Sweet Tangerine.

I watered the front yard yesterday.

It looks like I may lose the “corner office” next year. My wife has asked for the area in order to put plants in the space. She is currently working for a landscape designer and wants to show off this area to her landscaping talents. If she is still in the field come spring I'm sure this area will be hers.

We've now harvested over 400 Violet Jasper tomatoes (403)! Today's Violet Jasper tomatoes are about half the size (or smaller) compared to the ones harvested two months ago but the plant still has a fair amount of growing tomatoes.

My wife watered the back yard tomato plants yesterday and the front yard tomato plants the day before.

I pulled out three more tomato plants, all in the front yard: Michael Pollan, Orange Fleshed Purple Smudge and Black Krim.

The new volunteer tomato plant died in last week's heat wave. And the caterpillar has disappeared as well.

Pulled Out Six More Tomato Plants

Today's harvest includes 5 Snow White (front yard), 4 Violet Jasper, 4 Marianna's Peace, 3 Stupice, 2 Babywine, 2 SunGold, SunSugar, Patio, Michael Pollan, Aunt Ruby's German Green(1), Quedlinburger Fruehe Liebe, Topaz, German Orange Strawberry, Dr. Wyche's Yellow(2), Black Zebra, Toni's Round, Gajo de Melon, Azoychka/not Azoychka and Red Grape for a total of 33 tomatoes.

On Saturday I pulled out 6 more tomato plants: Jaune Flamme(2), Red Cherry, White Cherry, Sweetie, Principe Borghese and Chile Verde.

I woke up late on Sunday so I didn't harvest.

The recent heat was has turned our tomato plants into something that looks like tumbleweed. It looks like more tomato plants will be pulled shortly.
