Pulled Out 18 Tomato Plants

There was no harvest on Saturday.

However, the gardeners came and pulled out plenty of tomato plants. The carnage included Sweet 100, Copper River, Big Bite, Carmello, Thessaloniki, Giant Syrian, German Orange Strawberry, Snow White(1), Black and Brown Boar(2), Purple Dog Creek, Delicious, Neves Azorean Red, Italian Heirloom, Amazon Chocolate, Amana Orange, Aunt Ruby's German Green, Watermelon and Pineapple(2) -- 18 plants in all. I might have kept one or two of those, but a vast majority were ready to go. We're left with 6 plants left but one of them was missed by the gardeners. We have 5 good ones remaining.

Both Husky Cherry Red tomato plants are still going even though they were planted in February. They're tough, rugged plants that take a licking and keep on ticking...

Yesterday got up to 101.9. The heat just will not let up for any appreciable period of time...

Today's harvest includes 4 Husky Cherry Red(2), SunGold and Husky Cherry Red(1) for a total of 6 tomatoes. 

Harvested Over 400 Snow White(1) Tomatoes!

Today's harvest includes 9 Snow White(1), 3 Italian Heirloom, 3 Neves Azorean Red (6 ounces), 2 Porkchop(1), 2 SunGold, 2 Black and Brown Boar(2), Pierce's Pride(1), Indigo Apple(1), Olga's Round Yellow Chicken Egg, Carmello, Husky Cherry Red(1), Husky Cherry Red(2), Thessaloniki, German Orange Strawberry, Delicious, Amazon Chocolate, Watermelon, Aunt Ruby's German Green and Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red for a total of 34 tomatoes

Copper River has a couple of maturing tomatoes! We should be harvesting this tomato by the end of the week.

We've now harvested over 500 tomatoes for September (510)! The back yard tomatoes are doing fine in spite of SunSugar and the two Black Cherry tomatoes being removed. The front yard tomatoes are almost done, save SunGold.

Also, we've harvested over 400 Snow White(1) tomatoes (401)! 

Harvested Over 10,000 Tomatoes This Year!

Today's harvest includes 7 SunGold, 6 Indigo Rose, 5 Snow White(1), 4 Black Cherry(2), 4 Carmello, 3 Yellow Perfection, 3 Snow White(2), 2 Big Bite (7 ounces), 2 Gypsy, 2 Black Cherry(1), 2 Red Currant, 2 Husky Cherry Red(2), Redfield Beauty, Indigo Apple(1), Brad's Black Heart (12.5 ounces), Olga's Round Yellow Chicken Egg, Sweet Million, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(1), Thessaloniki, Husky Cherry Red(1), Japanese Black Trifele, Watermelon (7 ounces) and SunSugar for a total of 53 tomatoes.

We've now harvested over 10,000 tomatoes for the year (10046)!! Also, we've harvested over 6500 tomatoes in the back yard (6539) and over 3500 tomatoes in the front yard (3507). It's been a great year so far!

The Brad's Black Heart is a late beauty!

We are now within 100 SunGold tomatoes of our all time harvest for one plant per year (Matt's Wild Cherry, 2727 tomatoes) with 2628 harvested tomatoes so far this year.

It got up to 99 yesterday with as low as 10 percent humidity. It should be even warmer today.

My wife should be pulling out some tomato plants today.

I added fertilizer to the container plants this morning.

We've now harvested over 200 Red Currant tomatoes (201), over 50 Big Bite tomatoes (51) and 50 Thessaloniki tomatoes. 

Harvested Over 2500 SunGold Tomatoes!

Today's harvest includes 32 SunGold, 27 Black Cherry(1), 19 Husky Cherry Red(1), 16 Snow White(1), 11 Husky Cherry Red(2), 8 Snow White(2), 5 Indigo Rose, 5 Pineapple Pig, 5 SunSugar, 5 Speckled Roman(2), 5 Sweet Million, 5 Red Currant, 4 Redfield Beauty, 4 Dr. Wyche's Yellow, 3 Indigo Apple(2), 3 Italian Heirloom (6 ounces, 8 ounces, 8 ounces), 2 Oaxacan Pink (6 ounces), 2 Marmara, 2 German Orange Strawberry, 2 Black Cherry(2), 2 Japanese Black Trifele, 2 Carmello, 2 Tolstoi, 2 Yellow Perfection, 2 Big Bite (6 ounces), 2 Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red, 2 Speckled Roman(1), Nyagous(1), Chinese Tea, Black and Brown Boar(1), Olga's Round Yellow Chicken Egg, Ella's Pink Plum, Thessaloniki, Watermelon (8.5 ounces), Gypsy, Yellow Furry Boar, Jaune Flamme(2), Noire Charbonneuse(2), Black and Brown Boar(2), Aunt Ruby's German Green and Red Boar(1) for a total of 193 tomatoes.

Again, today's numbers got goosed upward because I didn't harvest on Saturday.

Speckled Roman(2) kicked out a lot of tomatoes but it's because the plant has basically died. We have three or four more that can be pulled.

Friday's high: 103.1. Yesterday's high: 97.4. It's still hot but we may get cooler weather in the near future.

We hit a few numeric landmarks today. We've now harvested over 6000 tomatoes from the back yard this year (6074). Also, we've harvested over 2500 SunGold tomatoes (2527), over 750 Husky Cherry Red(2) tomatoes (759), over 650 Black Cherry(1) tomatoes (659), over 250 Snow White(2) tomatoes (254), over 100 Sweet Million tomaotes (104) and over 50 Speckled Roman(2) tomatoes (51). 

Harvested Over 100 Indigo Rose Tomatoes!

Today's harvest includes 21 Black Cherry(1), 16 SunGold, 14 Snow White(2), 11 Husky Cherry Red(1), 10 Husky Cherry Red(2), 9 Snow White(1), 7 SunSugar, 5 Yellow Perfection, 5 Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red, 4 Indigo Apple(2), 4 Indigo Rose, 3 Carmello, 2 Speckled Roman(3), 2 Pink Furry Boar, 2 Nyagous(1), 2 Red Boar(2), 2 Redfield Beauty, 2 Red Boar(1), 2 Ella's Pink Plum, 2 Dr. Wyche's Yellow, 2 Indigo Apple(1), Kellogg's Breakfast, Chinese Tea, Oaxacan Pink, Olga's Round Yellow Chicken Egg, Sweet Million, Red Currant, Big Bite, Pineapple Pig, German Orange Strawberry (7.5 ounces), Japanese Black Trifele, Neves Azorean Red (15 ounces), Italian Heirloom (9 ounces), Amazon Chocolate, Noire Charbonneuse(2), Watermelon (7 ounces), Pineapple(2) (22 ounces), Gypsy, Marmara, Taxi and Tolstoi for a total of 147 tomatoes.

Yesterday's high: 103.2. It's still hot!

I noticed a flaw in the on line spreadsheet yesterday. The amount of harvested Neves Azorean Red was too high. I found the flaw and fixed it. The July numbers adjusted downward. The original reported amount of 6088 plummeted to...6068.

What a beautiful Pineapple(2)! I don't think I've pulled such a heavy tomato this late in the season. This tomato buried the pretty 15 ounce Neves Azorean Red, another good tomato.

We have more plants to pull.

I don't plan to harvest tomorrow.

We've now harvested over 850 Husky Cherry Red(1) tomatoes (857), over 100 Indigo Rose tomatoes (101) and 50 Speckled Roman(3) tomatoes this year. 

Harvested Over 9000 Tomatoes This Year!

Today's harvest includes 34 Black Cherry(1), 18 SunGold, 15 Husky Cherry Red(2), 14 Snow White(2), 8 Husky Cherry Red(1), 6 Snow White(1), 4 Carmello, 4 Red Boar(1), 4 Indigo Apple(2), 4 Yellow Furry Boar, 3 Noire Charbonneuse(2), 3 Redfield Beauty, 2 Vorlon, 2 SunSugar, 2 Indigo Apple(1), 2 Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red, 2 Olga's Round Yellow Chicken Egg, Nyagous(1), Speckled Roman(1), Black and Brown Boar(1), Ella's Pink Plum, Pineapple Pig, Brad's Black Heart (7 ounces), Oaxacan Pink (6 ounces), Black and Brown Boar(2), Italian Heirloom, Amazon Chocolate, Black Cherry(2), Earl of Edgecombe, Watermelon (7 ounces), Pineapple(2) (19 ounces) and Indigo Rose for a total of 142 tomatoes.

Yesterday's high: 99.7 degrees. There's something wrong when 100 degrees feels like a relief...

My wife took out Persimmon, Ramapo and Omar's Lebanese. We harvested 16 Persimmon and 7 Omar's Lebanese but both were successful plants. It's not just numbers, but the quality and size of the harvested tomatoes.

My wife also completed the front yard watering and most of the back yard tomatoes as well. There's more to remove but I need to look them over before deciding which ones go. She also made more sauce from our tomatoes.

Last night I tried Yellow Furry Boar again as part of dinner. There was no fur on any of our Yellow Furry Boars this year but it tasted smooth, juicy and quite good. Our August tomatoes still have it...

Today's harvest was definitely heftier than it has been in a while. The Pineapple(2) looks beautiful!

We've now harvested over 9000 tomatoes for the year (9104)! Also, we've harvested over 1500 back yard tomatoes this month (1568).

We've harvested over 600 Black Cherry(1) tomatoes (611) and over 50 Indigo Apple(2) tomatoes (57) this year.

And on a personal note, this is my 1000th blog post! 

Harvested Over 6000 Tomatoes This Year!

Today's harvest includes 40 SunGold, 33 Black Cherry(1), 28 Husky Cherry Red(1), 16 Husky Cherry Red(2), 8 Black Cherry(2), 8 Snow White(1), 6 Indigo Rose, 6 Black and Brown Boar(2), 6 Yellow Perfection, 6 Snow White(2), 5 Pink Furry Boar, 5 SunSugar, 5 Garden Peach, 5 Nyagous(2) (not Nyagous), 4 Green Grape, 4 Amazon Chocolate (7.5 ounces, 8 ounces), 4 Thessaloniki (7 ounces), 3 Creme Brulee (6 ounces, 6 ounces), 3 Redfield Beauty, 3 Black Krim(2), 2 Speckled Roman(2), 2 Brown Berry, 2 Black and Brown Boar(1), 2 Earl of Edgecombe, 2 Marmara (6 ounces, 6 ounces), 2 Noire Charbonneuse(2), 2 Speckled Roman(3), 2 Yellow Furry Boar, 2 Crimson Cushion, Marianna's Peace (16 ounces), Chinese Tea, Watermelon (8 ounces), Black Krim(1) (8 ounces), Nebraska Wedding (9 ounces), Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(2), Jaune Flamme(1), Indigo Apple(1), Big Zebra, Olga's Round Yellow Chicken Egg, Japanese Black Trifele, Taxi, Purple Dog Creek (10.5 ounces), Persimmon (11 ounces), Red Boar(2) and Jaune Flamme(2) for a total of 232 tomatoes.

I'm a little surprised that the numbers have stayed as solid for this long. SunGold is finally starting to fade but the two Black Cherry and the two Snow White plants have picked up the slack.

The tomato sizes are starting to dwindle and the plants are looking ragged. Noire Charbonneuse(1), Chinese Tea and Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(2) may not last much longer. However, many plants will have a second wind. Sweet Baby Girl already has a second wind and has maturing tomatoes again.

My wife watered the back yard containers.

We've now harvested over 3000 tomatoes in the back yard for the month of July (3151) and over 6000 tomatoes for the year (6187). 

Harvested Over 4500 Tomatoes This Year!

Today's harvest includes 72 SunGold, 23 Husky Cherry Red(1), 19 Husky Cherry Red(2), 12 Black Cherry(1), 9 Garden Peach, 7 Snow White(1), 5 Yellow Perfection, 4 Carmello (6 ounces), 4 Jaune Flamme(2), 4 SunSugar, 4 Nyagous(2) (not Nyagous), 4 Black From Tula (9 ounces, 8 ounces, 9.5 ounces), 3 Speckled Roman(3) (7 ounces), 3 Yellow Furry Boar (6.5 ounces), 3 Pink Furry Boar (6 ounces), 3 Matt's Wild Cherry, 3 Brown Berry, 2 Black and Brown Boar(2), 2 Delicious (6 ounces, 6 ounces), 2 Red Currant, 2 Yellow Currant, 2 Black and Brown Boar(1), 2 Indigo Rose, 2 Dr. Wyche's Yellow (7 ounces, 7.5 ounces), 2 Crimson Cushion (8 ounces), 2 Green Grape, 2 Snow White(2), 2 Brad's Black Heart (12 ounces), 2 Japanese Black Trifele (8 ounces), 2 Creme Brulee (7 ounces), 2 Jaune Flamme(1), 2 Watermelon (8.5 ounces, 10.5 ounces), Noire Charbonneuse(1), Noire Charbonneuse(2), Berkeley Tie Dye, Vorlon (10 ounces), Speckled Roman(2) (6 ounces), Pineapple Pig (17 ounces), Oaxacan Jewel (12.5 ounces), Gypsy, Marmara (6 ounces), Black Krim(1) (9.5 ounces), Black Krim(2), Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(2) (7.5 ounces), Persimmon (14 ounces), Italian Heirloom (9 ounces), Taxi and Marianna's Peace (9 ounces) for a total of 228 tomatoes.

My wife will appreciate fewer harvested tomatoes today. Yesterday she completed the watering of the back yard tomatoes but otherwise spent the whole day processing and giving away tomatoes. It was an all day job and understandably she was a bit overwhelmed by the end of the day.

This morning we taste tested Yellow Furry Boar and Creme Brulee. Yellow Furry Boar was a nice, smooth tasting milky yellow tomato. But our collective socks were knocked off by Creme Brulee. The taste really can't be condensed down into a simple description. I find it to be a great combination between both a red tomato (tomato taste) with a brown tomato (smooth, smoky undertones). Both flavors are there but neither dominates. Both tomatoes worked but Creme Brulee was just outstanding.

A Red Boar(2) is maturing.

We've now harvested over 1400 SunGold tomatoes for the year (1446). Also, we've now harvested over 2000 back yard tomatoes in July (2065), over 3500 overall for the month (3674) and over 4500 for the year (4538). 

Harvested 5 New Tomatoes!

Today's harvest includes 53 SunGold, 18 Red Currant, 18 Husky Cherry Red(2), 12 Husky Cherry Red(1), 7 Carmello (7 ounces, 6 ounces), 7 SunSugar, 5 Black and Brown Boar(1) (9 ounces), 5 Jaune Flamme(1), 5 Japanese Black Trifele, 4 Black Krim(1) (new) (9.5 ounces, 6.5 ounces, 7.5 ounces, 7.5 ounces), 4 Chinese Tea, 4 Crimson Cushion (7.5 ounces, 7.5 ounces, 8 ounces), 3 Indigo Apple(1), 3 Yellow Currant, 3 Yellow Perfection, 3 Matt's Wild Cherry, 3 Noire Charbonneuse(1) (6 ounces), 2 Big Bite (10 ounces, 9 ounces), 2 Garden Peach, 2 Indigo Rose, 2 Jaune Flamme(2), 2 Green Grape, 2 Pink Furry Boar (6 ounces), 2 Watermelon (20.5 ounces, 6.5 ounces), 2 Black From Tula (9 ounces, 9 ounces), Persimmon (new) (26 ounces), Marmara (new) (6 ounces), German Orange Strawberry (new) (8 ounces), Marianna's Peace (new) (12.5 ounces), Berkeley Tie Dye (12.5 ounces), Redfield Beauty, Speckled Roman(1), Dr. Wyche's Yellow (11 ounces), Oaxacan Jewel (17 ounces), Speckled Roman(2) (7 ounces), Sweet 100, Pineapple Pig (14 ounces), Black Cherry(1), Black Krim(2) (10 ounces), Oaxacan Pink (10 ounces), Giant Syrian (17.5 ounces), Black and Brown Boar(2) and Black Cherry(2) for a total of 191 tomatoes.

Pineapple Pig fell over into Black Cherry(1) yesterday. My wife told me about it when I got home from work so I propped it up immediately.

In the morning it was obvious another big Pineapple(1) tomato got hit by an animal of some sort. About half the tomato was eaten, similar to other tomatoes under the lemon tree.

Marianna's Peace wasn't a surprise -- I had misidentified it as Purple Dog Creek. I forgot to check Delicious so I'd better check it tomorrow. The Persimmon tomato was both a surprise and a beauty. It looks very similar to Dr. Wyche's Yellow.

We've now harvested over 900 SunGold tomatoes (929), 300 Husky Cherry Red(2) tomatoes (316) and 100 Red Currant tomatoes (111).

Oaxacan Pink is most likely another Oaxacan Jewel. I'll probably change the name over the next few days.
 

Harvested Oaxacan Pink, Brown Berry and Pierce's Pride(1)

Today's harvest includes 66 SunGold, 11 Husky Cherry Red(2), 10 Husky Cherry Red(1), 9 Red Currant, 4 Black and Brown Boar(1) (7 ounces), 4 Yellow Currant, 4 Crimson Cushion (8 ounces, 6 ounces), 4 Yellow Perfection, 3 Black Cherry(1), 3 Jaune Flamme(1), 3 Matt's Wild Cherry, 3 SunSugar, 3 Italian Heirloom (6.5 ounces, 11 ounces, 8 ounces), 3 Indigo Apple(1), 2 Sweet 100, 2 Thessaloniki, 2 Black Cherry(2), 2 Black Krim(2), Pierce's Pride(1) (new), Brown Berry (new), Oaxacan Pink (new), Nyagous(1), Speckled Roman(1), Chinese Tea, Berkeley Tie Dye, Redfield Beauty, Noire Charbonneuse(1), Oaxacan Jewel (13 ounces), Speckled Roman(2) (7.5 ounces), Ella's Pink Plum, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(1) (8.5 ounces), Nyagous(2) (not Nyagous), Big Bite (10 ounces), Black From Tula (13 ounces), Pink Furry Boar, Carmello, Garden Peach, Watermelon (12 ounces), Indigo Rose, Tolstoi, Snow White(2) and Green Grape for a total of 162 tomatoes.

My wife handed me some "tomato chips" that she made with the dehydrator. I ate them at work. They were tasty!

Yesterday my wife and I taste tested Pineapple Pig, Pink Furry Boar and Momataro, a tomato brought by my mother-in-law. Pineapple Pig was quite good with a mild, delicious taste (it reminded my wife of Porkchop). My wife had a one word response for Pink Furry Boar -- "Winner!". A refreshing and very good tasting tomato. Momataro was meaty but slightly less tasty than the first two. That's not as much of a complaint as it may sound -- it was only "quite good". I'd grow it. My wife just loved this tomato.

Brown Berry wasn't a surprise. I forgot to include it in yesterday's maturing tomatoes. But yesterday's 8 Snow White(2) tomatoes were a complete surprise.

Oaxacan Pink will probably end up being another Oaxacan Jewel but for now we'll leave it as is. The Brown Berry plant does not look good at all. It'll be good for about four tomatoes.

Now Black Cherry(1) is doubled over. We didn't get around to repairing it yesterday evening.

Whatever ate half of a Big Zebra also took out 3 Pineapple(1) tomatoes. 2 of them were almost completely eaten.

I got up to 104.5 yesterday. Still hot!

Maturing tomatoes include Marmara and Black Krim(1).

We've now harvested over 800 SunGold tomatoes (820) and over 1000 front yard tomatoes (1001). 

Harvested Pink Furry Boar!

Today's harvest includes 44 SunGold, 13 Husky Cherry Red(1), 10 Husky Cherry Red(2), 7 Yellow Currant, 6 Red Currant, 5 Garden Peach, 5 Yellow Perfection, 4 Nyagous(1), 4 SunSugar, 3 Green Grape, 3 Carmello, 3 Crimson Cushion, 2 Berkeley Tie Dye (7 ounces, 16 ounces), 2 Italian Heirloom (9 ounces, 8 ounces), 2 Matt's Wild Cherry, 2 Noire Charbonneuse(1) (7 ounces, 6.5 ounces), 2 Big Bite (9 ounces), 2 Black From Tula (7 ounces), 2 Pineapple Pig (9.5 ounces, 9 ounces), Pink Furry Boar (new), Dr. Wyche's Yellow, Sweet Million, Black Cherry(1), Snow White(1), Watermelon (9.5 ounces) and Indigo Rose for a total of 128 tomatoes.

I couple of tomato plants in the back yard had a 45 degree angle -- they got top heavy -- so I needed to stake them. I also staked a couple more (Berkeley Tie Dye being one of them) that had issues.

Something besides a bird ate a big chunk out of a large Big Zebra tomato last night. Perhaps an opossum?

My wife went to a party last night with some friends and of course she brought tomatoes. According to the consensus at the party, Pineapple Pig was a little watery and bland. But the tomato "chips" dried in the humidifier was a huge hit. The first batch was completely gone -- nothing remained.

Pink Furry Boar is a cute looking tomato, looking somewhat like an apple.

Both Pierce's Pride plants have maturing tomatoes.

We've now harvested over 600 SunGold tomatoes (630) and over 300 Husky Cherry Red(1) tomatoes (307). And we've harvested over 2000 tomatoes for the year (2006). 

Harvested Seven New Tomatoes!

Today's harvest includes 66 SunGold, 11 Husky Cherry Red(2), 8 Matt's Wild Cherry, 8 SunSugar, 8 Husky Cherry Red(1), 6 Red Currant, 5 Yellow Currant, 5 Sweet Million, 5 Yellow Perfection, 5 Speckled Roman(2) (6.5 ounces, 7 ounces), 5 Green Grape, 5 Crimson Cushion (8 ounces, 6 ounces, 6 ounces), 4 Nyagous(1), 3 Sweet 100, 3 Black Cherry(1), 3 Black From Tula (8 ounces, 13.5 ounces), 2 Ella's Pink Plum, 2 Speckled Roman(1), 2 Chinese Tea, 2 Taxi, 2 Redfield Beauty, 2 Giant Syrian (8 ounces, 12 ounces), 2 Dr. Wyche's Yellow (14 ounces, 6.5 ounces), Jaune Flamme(1) (new), Oaxacan Jewel (new) (19.5 ounces), Watermelon (new) (12.5 ounces), Indigo Apple(2) (new), Green Zebra (new), Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(2) (new) (12 ounces), Big Bite (new) (7 ounces), Black Krim(2), Carmello (6 ounces), Thessaloniki, Indigo Rose and Jaune Flamme(2) for a total of 176 tomatoes.

Wow what a harvest! It's not the amount, it's the size of the tomatoes. My wife took an image of the harvest.

Lower left -- the five Crimson Cushion tomatoes. Behind it, Watermelon. The dark tomato in the front is Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(2). The two tomatoes between Watermelon, Crimson Cushion and Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(2) are Giant Syrian. Just to the right of Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(2) is Indigo Apple(2). Behind Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(2) and Indigo Apple(2) are 5 Speckled Roman(2) tomatoes. The large yellow/pink tomato is Oaxacan Jewel. To the right of Oaxacan Jewel are two orange tomatoes -- Dr. Wyche's Yellow. Behind Dr. Wyches' Yellow are two dark tomatoes -- Black From Tula.

My wife watered the container plants yesterday. Also, she spent four hours canning tomatoes.

Last night my wife and I sampled a few tomatoes. These included Taxi, Black and Brown Boar(2), Indigo Rose and Speckled Roman(2). My wife loved Taxi a lot. I liked it a lot as well. We both were amazed at Black and Brown Boar(2). Good looking exterior, good looking interior and a juicy, fresh taste. I remembered this from last year and I was only so-so at best regarding the flavor. This tomato was so delicious, so unlike what I remember that I'm left to believe I'm thinking of a different tomato. Indigo Rose is oddly refreshing. It's odd in that I've never run across a dark skinned tomato with a refreshing taste. My wife says it's because of the pink interior. We like it, it's good. Speckled Roman(2) was good but not great. That was due to the tomato being a day or two past prime maturity. It's not the fault of the tomato, we waited a bit too late. Still, it was quite good -- the meaty flavor still came through.

Here's a picture of Indigo Rose sliced in half. Does this remind you of a plum?

Indigo Apple(2) and Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(2) were both surprises. I didn't know these plants had ripening tomatoes. The Green Zebra may be the only tomato we harvest off of this plant. The plant is obviously diseased. Oaxacan Jewel and Watermelon both look beautiful!

Plants with maturing tomatoes include Nyagous(2), Olga's Round Yellow Chicken and Pineapple Pig. But Nyagous(2) clearly isn't a Nyagous. Until we can truly identify it, Nyagous(2) it is.

We've now harvested over 1000 tomatoes from the back yard this year (1025). 

All Tomatoes Have Cages!

Today's harvest: Husky Cherry Red(2).

My wife installed the five new cages yesterday, and redistributed all the other cages onto other seedlings, save one. We installed that cage this morning. Now every tomato seedling has a support cage. We may replace some of the weaker cages but for now, every tomato plant has one.

Can you believe that SunGold is already four and a half feet tall? Amazing!

A Red Currant tomato is maturing.

Other plants with growing tomatoes include Indigo Apple(2), Watermelon, Black Cherry(2) and Black and Brown Boar(2). 

13 Seedlings Planted, Sinking Seedlings Fixed

Today my wife made it a point to catch up with the tomato planting.

She planted Black and Brown Boar, Snow White, Yellow Furry Boar, Speckled Roman(3), Garden Peach, Watermelon, Earl of Edgecombe, Vorlon, Red Boar(2) and Creme Brulee in the holes I had previously dug out and filled. She fixed 15 tubs around the seedlings that had sunk. She also planted Matt's Wild Cherry in a pot.

I came home after work and made two more holes in the back yard. My wife planted Delicious and Oaxacan Pink in these holes.

My wife says we're starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel in regards to getting all the seedlings planted. If all goes well we'll have it done by this weekend. But it could bleed into the beginning of next week.
