Well, now you see the effect of not having harvested the day before...
This will be the largest harvest day of the year, though it was pumped up artificially due to yesterday's morning rain. For a piece of trivia, the .07 inch of rain in Woodland Hills was the largest rain total ever for July 31 since measurements had been taken (1949).
The remarkable thing about today's harvest is the number of good sized tomatoes that came in the batch, including Portuguese Neighbor, Dr. Wyche's Yellow, Paul Robeson, Kellogg's Breakfast and others. Pineapple tied our heaviest tomato of the year at 22.5 ounces.
