Pulled Out 7 More Back Yard Tomato Plants

Tuesday's harvest includes Michael Pollan, Matt's Wild Cherry and Jaune Flamme for a total of 3 tomatoes.


No harvest Wednesday. I turned 50! 


Thursday's harvest includes 6 Jaune Flamme and 2 Matt's Wild Cherry for a total of 8 tomatoes. 


In the evening my wife pulled out Kellogg's Breakfast, Sweet Carneros Pink and Dr. Wyche's Yellow tomato plants. 


Friday's harvest includes 4 Jaune Flamme, 2 Matt's Wild Cherry and Husky Cherry Red(2) for a total of 7 tomatoes. 


In the evening I pulled out Large Pink Anna(1), Honkin' Big Black Cherry, Husky Gold and Michael Pollan


Today's harvest includes 2 Jaune Flamme, Husky Cherry Red(2) and Matt's Wild Cherry for a total of 4 tomatoes. 


The only drama left is 1) Will we harvest over 4000 tomatoes from the back yard? (We're at 3986, quite likely to happen) and 2) Will we harvest over 9000 tomatoes for the year? (We're at 8872 -- less likely). We'll see how it goes.

Sunday's harvest includes 2 SunGold(1), 2 Matt's Wild Cherry, Jaune Flamme, Husky Cherry Red(2) and Michael Pollan for a total of tomatoes.

We visited with Winnetka Farms, got some advice on compost and bought some seeds.

Today's harvest includes 2 Jaune Flamme, 2 Matt's Wild Cherry, SunGold(1) and Stupice for a total of 6 tomatoes.

We've now harvested 2700 Matt's Wild Cherry tomatoes! A remarkable total.

More plants are ready to be pulled (five or six), it's just a matter of time and room in our green recycle bin before we pull them.

We've found several hormworms on SunGold(1). The plant is so thick it's also acting as a "grasshopper hotel".
