Harvested Over 100 Nyagous(1) Tomatoes!

Today's harvest includes 38 Black Cherry(1), 22 SunGold, 13 Snow White(2), 8 Husky Cherry Red(2), 8 Snow White(1), 6 Nyagous(1), 5 Indigo Apple(1), 5 Husky Cherry Red(1), 5 Indigo Apple(2), 3 Sweet 100, 2 Black and Brown Boar(2), 2 Tolstoi, 2 Black Cherry(2), 2 Yellow Perfection, 2 SunSugar, Ella's Pink Plum, Red Currant, Redfield Beauty, Chinese Tea, Vorlon, Speckled Roman(2), Delicious (7.5 ounces), Amazon Chocolate, Indigo Rose and Porkchop(2) for a total of 133 tomatoes.

Yesterday's high: 105.1. But the heat wasn't as oppressive and the air was noticeably clearer in the evening. Is the heat wave gripping the area finally going to break?

My wife pulled Berkeley Tie Dye, White Zebra and Noire Charbonneuse(1) from the front yard. Also, Matt's Wild Cherry was severely cut back a few days ago. There's several in the back yard that can be pulled -- beefsteaks, mostly -- but I haven't told my wife yet.

My wife also watered the front yard tomatoes and some of the back yard tomatoes.

Last night my wife cut up Porkchop and Vorlon for dinner. They were both delicious! Winner and winner.

We've now harvested over 2000 tomatoes this month (2010). My prediction for the whole month was 2400 tomatoes and we've reached 2000 before the halfway point. Obviously we'll blow by my prediction but our harvest is currently dominated by cherry tomatoes. As the weather cools, so will the harvest numbers. It doesn't look like it now but we could be down to about 30 per day by the end of the month.

We've now harvested over 2450 SunGold tomatoes (2461) and over 100 Nyagous(1) tomatoes (103) this year. 

Harvested Over 700 Husky Cherry Red(2) Tomatoes!

Yesterday's high: 105.8. It was particularly warm at night, making it difficult to sleep.

My wife made sauce out of some of the tomatoes but other than that, not much happened. It's been so hot that other house items have backed up.

We've now harvested over 500 front yard tomatoes this month. Also, we've harvested over 700 Husky Cherry Red(2) tomatoes (715) and over 200 Snow White(2) tomatoes (205) this year.

Yesterday's high was 107.8. Need I say more?

I was going to mention that while most of the cherry tomatoes are thinning out, Black Cherry(1) still had a fair amount to tomatoes to mature. As you see but the sudden increase, some of them matured yesterday!

Today's harvested Neves Azorean Red tomatoes look quite nice.

Black Krim(2), Sweet Baby Girl and Creme Brulee were pulled. I told my wife that three more in the front yard could also be pulled.

We've now harvested over 5500 back yard tomatoes this year (5502). Also we've harvested over 2400 SunGold tomatoes (2415), over 500 Black Cherry(1) tomatoes (502) and over 250 Snow White(1) tomatoes (251).

It got up to 107.5 yesterday. Need I say more?

The last date that SunGold wasn't the top harvest total for the day? June 23!

We did distribute some tomatoes to our friends in the West Adams district but other than that, nothing happened. Look at the second paragraph...

We've now harvested over 8500 tomatoes for the year (8507) and over 1500 tomatoes for the month of August (1555) as well as over 1000 tomatoes in the back yard for August (1116). We've harvested over 450 Black Cherry(1) tomatoes (466) and over 200 Snow White(2) tomatoes (208).

And yesterday got up to 106.3 degrees. The blistering heat wave continues. This heat appears to be pushing Snow White tomatoes to maturity as well as keeping the SunGold numbers higher than I would expect.

My wife has been battling a cold and a possible sinus infection. A couple tomato recipients came by our house to pick up tomatoes as opposed to my wife driving to their residences to drop off tomatoes.

My wife pulled out Nyagous(2). Now Creme Brulee can also be pulled.

There was no harvest on Thursday. Neither of us slept well. It got up to 107.2 on Wednesday and we didn't cool down the bedroom like we should have. My wife is ill and our bedroom was simply too hot for us to sleep well. I woke up before 5 in the morning, sweating. So I took care of a couple errands and went out for breakfast.

And yesterday it got up to 109.4 degrees. Yikes! But we cooled the room this time and the night was a tad cooler than the night before. We both slept well, certainly better than the night before.

But boy is it hot. Some of our plants are becoming bone dry. To be fair the plants will become bone dry anyway, just not so soon.

My wife pulled out Big Zebra yesterday and I believe she watered the pots the day before.

We've now harvested over 2300 SunGold tomatoes (2333), over 200 Snow White(1) tomatoes (213) and over 50 Chinese Tea tomatoes (51)!

My wife watered some of the back yard tomatoes yesterday. Short of that, it got up to 106.7 at Pierce College so there's not much that could have been done without a lot of effort.

It looks like a couple more tomato plants can go (Big Zebra, Nyagous(2)) and others not far behind (Creme Brulee). While doing the harvest I broke a large Husky Cherry Red(2) branch that was laying in the pathway. Darn it..

We hit several 2012 numbers today. We've now harvested over 8000 tomatoes for the year (8038), over 5000 tomatoes from the back yard this year (5033) and over 3000 tomatoes from the front yard (3005)!

The harvested Pineapple(2) is a beauty! This is a grafted tomato, a birthday gift from our friend Allison.

Copper River has a growing tomato! I was looking for possible tomato plants to pull and I'll be darned it has a growing tomato!

I hope it can survive the heat. Yesterday it got up to 108.1 degrees at Pierce College!

My wife watered the front yard tomatoes in the morning after pulling out Chile Verde.

I placed fertilizer in the container plants and my wife dutifully watered it in later in the day.

My wife made a tomato salad, using tomatoes from nearly every color in the rainbow. The salad colors were enticing by itself. We visited the "seed lady" in the afternoon and enjoyed dinner with her company. The salad was a hit.

We harvested over 150 Garden Peach tomatoes this year (154)! However, most of the recent Garden Peach tomatoes are close to inedible. They're small and desiccated. This plant may get pulled sooner rather than later.

The TomatoMania event at the Loteria Grill was a ton of fun! We brought German Orange Strawberry, Pineapple Pig, Indigo Apple, Yellow Furry Boar, Pineapple and Pink Furry Boar for consumption. We met fellow TomatoManiacs again and of course it's fun to reconnect and all. My wife brought tomato jelly for Scott Daigre. He made sure to stash it away. My wife also got an autograph from him for his recent article in Grow magazine.

My wife and I had a blast. Lots of tomatoes and good food. Time went by very quickly.

Last night we tried Aunt Ruby's German Green and it was terrific!

I told my wife that she can pull Chile Verde. Others may be going soon.

A Pineapple(2) tomato is maturing.

We've now harvested over 2200 SunGold tomatoes (2216). And we've harvested over 500 back yard tomatoes this month.
