Today's harvest includes 24 Snow White(2), 12 SunGold, 7 Black Cherry(1), 6 Carmello (9 ounces), 4 Yellow Perfection, 4 Indigo Rose, 3 Marmara, 3 Husky Cherry Red(1), 3 Indigo Apple(2), 2 Thessaloniki, 2 Red Currant, 2 Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(1), 2 Snow White(1), 2 Redfield Beauty, Nyagous(1), Black and Brown Boar(1), Dr. Wyche's Yellow, Olga's Round Yellow Chicken Egg, Pink Furry Boar, Crimson Cushion, German Orange Strawberry, Delicious, Black Cherry(2), Pineapple(2) and Red Boar(1) for a total of 87 tomatoes.
Snow White(1) has such a high total because my wife picked 15 of them in the afternoon. I added it to today's total because I don't plan to harvest tomorrow.
Other than that, not much happening. There's no more tomato plants ready to be pulled (though many are close) and they're too fragile to train. The weather is back to normal again.
We've now harvested exactly 300 Snow White(2) tomatoes for the year!

Harvested 3 New Tomatoes!
Today's harvest includes 37 SunGold, 15 Husky Cherry Red(1), 13 Husky Cherry Red(2), 7 Green Grape, 7 Crimson Cushion (6.5 ounces, 7 ounces, 6 ounces, 7 ounces), 6 SunSugar, 6 Yellow Perfection, 5 Red Currant, 5 Matt's Wild Cherry, 4 Dr. Wyche's Yellow (8.5 ounces, 10.5 ounces, 26.5 ounces, 11 ounces), 4 Yellow Currant, 3 Snow White(1), 3 Nyagous(1), 2 Chinese Tea, 2 Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(2) (7.5 ounces, 6.5 ounces), 2 Sweet Million, 2 Redfield Beauty, 2 Carmello, Berkeley Tie Dye (new) (17.5 ounces), Garden Peach (new), Olga's Round Yellow Chicken Egg (new), Black and Brown Boar(1), Ella's Pink Plum, Big Bite, Black Krim(2), Black From Tula (6 ounces), Giant Syrian (12 ounces) and Indigo Rose for a total of 135 tomatoes.
That's not a misprint, we picked a Dr. Wyche's Yellow that weighed more than one and a half pounds. Our record to date was a Mexico tomato that came in at 30 ounces.
Here's an image of today's harvest:
The pile in the lower left are the Crimson Cushions. The yellow row on the right are the Dr. Wyche's Yellow tomatoes. The beautiful Berkeley Tie Dye is next to the postal scale used to weigh the tomatoes. The back left has the two Pink Berkeley Tie Dye(2) tomatoes. And behind it is Olga's Round Yellow Chicken Egg.
Speaking of which, we had another small taste test this morning for breakfast. We tried Olga's Round Yellow Chicken Egg, Green Zebra, Yellow Furry Boar and Indigo Apple. Olga's Round Yellow Chicken Egg was the winner of this bunch. We harvested it at just the right time and the flavor really popped. Green Zebra and Indigo Apple were both good. The loser was Yellow Furry Boar. But there's no point in describing what was wrong with it because we simply tried it too late. We harvested it maybe a day too late but took three days to sample it from there. It gets a pass.
Yesterday my in-laws came over while I was at work. They brought our dog back (My wife had dropped our dog off with her parents before the 4th so we could enjoy dinner with some out of town friends that evening. You shouldn't leave a dog alone with fireworks going off everywhere...) and spent the afternoon with my wife. They loved the tomato sauce my wife made.
During the visit the dehydrator was brought out of the garage and set up. Many tomatoes were cut up and placed in the dehydrator. The contraption was left on over night and the tomato slices slowly dried. Here's an image from today:
Maturing tomatoes include Black Krim(1), White Zebra, Speckled Roman(3) and Italian Heirloom.
We've now havested more tomatoes as of July 7 (858) than we did in all of June (842).
And we've harvested over 500 SunGold tomatoes this year (512).

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).

Harvested (and Tossed) Yellow Furry Boar!
Yesterday's harvest includes 18 SunGold, 15 Husky Cherry Red(1), 11 Husky Cherry Red(2), 10 Sweet Baby Girl, 10 Sweet 100, 4 Nyagous(1), 4 Black Cherry(1), 3 Sweet Million, 3 SunSugar, 2 Matt's Wild Cherry, 2 Red Currant, 2 Yellow Perfection, Yellow Furry Boar (new) for a total of 85 tomatoes.
Today's harvest includes 23 SunGold, 17 Husky Cherry Red(2), 16 Husky Cherry Red(1), 6 Sweet 100, 4 Nyagous(1), 4 Matt's Wild Cherry, 4 Yellow Currant, 4 SunSugar, 3 Sweet Baby Girl, 2 Sweet Million, 2 Red Currant, 2 Black Cherry(1) and Crimson Cushion for a total of 88 tomatoes.
I was going to post that Yellow Furry Boar was a bit of a surprise, but it was damaged (It looked like a bird had pecked it). I figured my wife wouldn't try to salvage it, though it was a possibility. She didn't. She tossed it. I still counted this one because it didn't prematurely mature do to malformation -- it's just the first tomato for that plant got hit by a bird's beak.
The Green Zebra plant appears to be diseased.
I did a fair amount of staking and taping yesterday evening. A fair amount of plants are leaning due to growing up out the top of the cage and getting top heavy. It's getting harder and harder to maneuver around some of these plants...
My wife watered the patio tomato plants yesterday.
Taxi, Creme Brulee and Jaune Flamme(2) have maturing tomatoes. I'm sure there are others. The maturing Dr. Wyche's Yellow is large.
We've now harvested over 200 SunGold (217) tomatoes.

Harvested Black Cherry(1)!
Today's harvest includes 23 SunGold, 9 Husky Cherry Red(1), 7 Sweet Baby Girl, 6 Sweet 100, 5 Husky Cherry Red(2), 2 Sweet Million, 2 Matt's Wild Cherry, Black Cherry(1) (new), Yellow Perfection, Nyagous(1), Crimson Cushion, SunSugar and Green Grape for a total of 60 tomatoes.
I didn't do any work on the tomatoes yesterday evening. Around this time of the year I'm doing a bit of "gathering", taping, staking and looking for maturing tomatoes. I missed Black Cherry(1). The one harvested today was tiny, but there's plenty of larger tomatoes maturing for Black Cherry(1).
My wife watered the front yard tomatoes, the container plants, the tomato plants in the redwood raised bed and the ones by the lemon tree. She'll complete the watering this morning.
We've now harvested over 500 tomatoes for the month and for the year.

Harvested Crimson Cushion!
Today's harvest includes 9 SunGold, 6 Husky Cherry Red(1), 3 Husky Cherry Red(2), 3 SunSugar 2 Sweet Baby Girl, 2 Sweet 100 and Crimson Cushion (new) for a total of 26 tomatoes.
I spent a fair amount of time training and pruning the yellowing and browing branches last evening. This behavior is natural as the plant will concentrate on fruit production. Don't start watering to try to turn yellow branches green again -- it will never happen. Our SunGold plant is about six and a half feet tall already, but most of the branches in the bottom foot have been cut away. This is a good thing -- it means there's lots of fruit that need nourishment!
While I wasn't exhaustive in my searching, I did look underneath a lot of tomato plants looking for new maturing fruit. Short of Crimson Cushion, I didn't see any. I saw a fair amount of tomatoes that look pretty close to turning color, but none turning color. Is this an issue? Nope, it's more a function of the weather. A few days ago it got up to almost 98 degrees, and the harvest numbers go higher. Well, they'd go up anyway at this time of the year but it spiked higher than expected. The last few days have cooled off. We probably won't hit yesterday's 45 total for a few days. When the temperature spikes, the harvest spikes a couple days afterward above and beyond the normal upslope.
My wife watered in the fertilizer in the containers and most of the front yard plants. She had watered on Monday, so she watered just enough for the fertilizer to soak into the ground, meaning she barely watered.
We had some of our Nyagous(1) tomatoes in a pasta dish last night. The pasta and the tomatoes were delicious!

Harvested Nyagous(1)!
Today's harvest includes 6 SunGold, 5 Sweet Baby Girl, 4 Matt's Wild Cherry, 4 Husky Cherry Red(1), 3 Yellow Perfection, 2 Nyagous(1) (new), 2 Husky Cherry Red(2), Sweet Million and Sweet 100 for a total of 28 tomatoes
Husky Cherry Red(2) had some falling branches this morning. The weight of the fruit on the branches, plus the fact the branches got wet this morning (The sprinklers hit this tomato plant) pulled down several of them. I tied and staked them the best I could without getting too soaked, but lost a couple of tomatoes in the process.
We harvested Nyagous(1) today! However, I may have waited a day too late. They look a bit dessicated.
It got up to over 97 degrees yesterday. That was unexpected. Had I known that I would have harvested Nyagous(1) on Saturday. The ripening bunch is near a cage wire (within a half inch) and when it gets hot, the actual cage heats up, affecting the fruit abutting or touching the cage wire.
My wife watered part of the "koi pond" yesterday. She'll water some more today.
I added fertilizer to the container plants but it needs to be watered in.
Crimson Cushion has a maturing tomato! I'm surprised it's maturing this soon -- this plant has a long duration to maturity.

Harvested Husky Cherry Red(1)!
Today's harvest: Husky Cherry Red(1).
I did some quick tomato plant "training" yesterday evening. During that training session I noticed Nyagous(1), Crimson Cushion, Carmello, Indigo Rose and Matt's Wild Cherry with growing tomatoes.
I've given up on Vorlon(2). Time permitting, we'll replace that tomato plant.

Planted Five Seedlings In the Backyard Cutout
This morning I got five more tomatoes into the ground in the backyard cutout area. These five tomatoes are Giant Syrian, Japanese Black Trifele, Thessaloniki, Crimson Cushion and Carmello.
Last year I spent a great deal of time digging holes and removing rocks and asphalt from the "Far East" area of our backyard -- the area to the east of our grass area (and grass cutout area) near our eastern fence. The results of hours and hours of digging was dramatic. This area was near spectacular, and I'd argue even slightly better than our signature area, the "koi pond" in the front yard. Prior years in the "Far East" were, at best, mediocre.
So what's the point? I had realized that our backyard cutout area (where we planted today's five tomato seedlings) has done reasonably well, but nothing that has knocked our socks off. But then again, not bad either. It's my supposition that this area may have asphalt in the soil (which I knew to be true already), just not as concentrated as the "Far East".
So I dug as keep as I could go for these five holes. Two were done on Saturday, three today. And my findings were consistent with my theory. There were significant amounts of asphalt to throw away, but the concentration wasn't as heavy as in the "Far East". The soil below Japanese Black Trifele had the biggest pieces -- a couple were as wide (and thicker) than hamburger patties.
So we only planted five new tomato seedlings in this area. But note, it will be harder to plant these five tomatoes than it will be to plant the whole front yard. There's no buried asphalt there and the soil has been previously dug out and replaced.

Harvested 50 Oaxacan Jewel(2) Tomatoes!
Today's harvest includes 13 Matt's Wild Cherry, 10 Sweet Carneros Pink, 5 Porkchop, 4 Michael Pollan, 4 Husky Cherry Red(2), 3 Dr. Wyche's Yellow, 3 Oaxacan Jewel(2), 2 Persimmon(1), 2 SunGold(1), 2 Orange And Green Zebra, 2 Aunt Ruby's German Green(3), 2 Crimson Cushion(2), Large Pink Anna(1), Green Doctors Kiwi(1) (not Green Doctors Kiwi), SunSugar, Kellogg's Breakfast, Garden Peach and Coyote (not Coyote) for a total of 58 tomatoes.
We've now harvested 50 Oaxacan Jewel(2) tomatoes! There was a chance we were going to lose this plant so we're happy for the harvest.
Yesterday I watered the whole front yard, including the front yard tomato plants.
Outside of the heat wave, there's not much happening...

Harvested Over 2500 Matt's Wild Cherry Tomatoes!
No harvest done yesterday.
Several plants were pulled on Saturday. They included Husky Cherry Red(1), Hungarian Heart, Australian Giant Oxheart, Sweet 100, Black Krim(1), Snow White and Persimmon(2).
Today's harvest includes 26 Matt's Wild Cherry, 15 Husky Cherry Red(2), 14 Sweet Carneros Pink, 6 Orange And Green Zebra, 5 Dr. Wyche's Yellow, 4 Porkchop, 4 Crimson Cushion(2), 3 Yellow Brandywine, 3 Aunt Ruby's German Green(3), 3 Coyote (not Coyote), 2 Neves Azorean Red, 2 Garden Peach, 2 Michael Pollan, 2 Aunt Ruby's German Green(1), Persimmon(1), SunGold(1), Jaune Flamme, Patio, SunSugar, Kellogg's Breakfast, Golden Mama and Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red for a total of 99 tomatoes.
We've now harvested over 2500 Matt's Wild Cherry tomatoes (2513)! I'm a little surprised at the amount of Matt's Wild Cherry pulled today -- the plant is picked over and preparing for another wind. The plant still looks good. 3000 harvested tomatoes is not out of the question.
Also, we've harvested over 550 Husky Cherry Red(2) tomatoes (562)!
It was sad to see Snow White go but the plant has been dead for some time.

Sweet Carneros Pink Having a Second Wind
Thursday's harvest includes 11 Matt's Wild Cherry, 10 Sweet Carneros Pink, 9 Husky Cherry Red(2), 7 Snow White, 5 SunGold(1), 4 Stupice, 3 Orange And Green Zebra, 3 Kellogg's Breakfast, 2 Jaune Flamme, 2 Yellow Brandywine, 2 Coyote (not Coyote), 2 Red Zebra, 2 Vorlon, 2 Neves Azorean Red, 2 Porkchop, Green Zebra(1), Haley's Purple Comet, Persimmon(1), Golden Mama, Green Grape, Big White Pink Stripe, Garden Peach, Black Krim(1) and Aunt Ruby's German Green(3) (6 ounces) for a total of 75 tomatoes.
I added fertilizer to the back yard container plants. Also, I passed out bags of tomatoes to a couple friends of ours.
Today's harvest includes 12 Sweet Carneros Pink, 11 Matt's Wild Cherry, 7 Husky Cherry Red(2), 7 SunGold(1), 5 Snow White, 4 Garden Peach, 4 Kellogg's Breakfast, 3 Orange And Green Zebra, 3 Stupice, 3 Coyote (not Coyote), 2 Persimmon (8 ounces), 2 Michael Pollan, 2 Crimson Cushion(2), Large Pink Anna(1), Green Doctor's Kiwi(1) (not Green Doctor's Kiwi), Big White Pink Stripe, Oaxacan Jewel(2), Australian Giant Oxheart and Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red for a total of 71 tomatoes.
Sweet Carneros Pink is having a good second wind. The fruits look good and are about 60 percent of the size of the first wave. Stupice is coming off a good second wind, the second wind tomatoes looking as good as the first wind tomatoes.
Other than that, plants are burning out. Sweet 100 has a disease where it looks like it's covered in a spider web material. But we're both busy so we haven't taken it out yet.

Harvested Over 1400 Matt's Wild Cherry Tomatoes!
Today's harvest includes 74 Matt's Wild Cherry, 19 Husky Cherry Red(2), 12 Snow White, 11 Garden Peach, 8 SunSugar, 8 Husky Cherry Red(1), 7 SunGold(1), 5 Dr. Wyche's Yellow (6 ounces, 6 ounces, 6 ounces), 4 Orange And Green Zebra, 4 Persimmon (7.5 ounces, 14 ounces, 10 ounces), 4 Green Zebra(2) (not Green Zebra), 3 Oaxacan Jewel(2), 3 Coyote (not Coyote), 3 Haley's Purple Comet, 2 Porkchop, 2 Large Pink Anna(2), 2 Cassidy's Folly, 2 Honkin' Big Black Cherry, 2 Green Grape, 2 Jaune Flamme, Sweet 100, Crimson Cushion(2), Aunt Ruby's German Green(1), Green Doctors Kiwi(2) and Golden Mama for a total of 182 tomatoes.
Wow, that harvest bumped up a bit! Some plants have gotten a second wind (SunSugar, the Husky Cherry Red plants) but Matt's Wild Cherry should start tapering off soon.
We've now harvested over 1400 Matt's Wild Cherry tomatoes (1404)!
My wife watered a lot of the tomato plants. She watered in the tomatofertilizer in all the container plants and watered most, if not all of the front yard. She also pulled out three tomato plants in the front yard -- German Orange Strawberry, Indian Stripe and Black Seaman(1).
There won't be too many beefsteaks harvested after today. There's a few more left but they have dwindled to a handful.

Today's harvest includes 57 Matt's Wild Cherry, 16 Snow White, 10 Husky Cherry Red(2), 7 Garden Peach, 6 Orange And Green Zebra, 5 Husky Cherry Red(1), 4 SunSugar, 3 Green Zebra(2) (not Green Zebra), 2 Crimson Cushion (6 ounces), 2 Green Zebra(1), 2 Oaxacan Jewel(2), 2 SunGold(1), 2 Haley's Purple Comet, 2 Large Pink Anna(2), Pineapple (17 ounces), Sweet 100, Cassidy's Folly, Hungarian Heart (10 ounces), Coyote (not Coyote), Large Pink Anna(1), Husky Gold, Jaune Flamme, Aunt Ruby's German Green(1), Honkin' Big Black Cherry, Stupice, Bloody Butcher and Persimmon (11 ounces) for a total of 133 tomatoes.

And over the weekend a few milestones were reached. We've harvested over 350 Husky Cherry Red(2) tomatoes and over 600 Snow White tomatoes.
As mentioned previously, the volume is dropping somewhat dramatically...

Harvested Sweet 100!
Saturday's harvest includes 55 Matt's Wild Cherry, 31 Snow White, 9 Garden Peach, 6 Husky Cherry Red(2), 5 Orange And Green Zebra, 4 Husky Cherry Red(1), 4 Haley's Purple Comet, 3 SunSugar, 3 SunGold(1), 3 Large Pink Anna(2), 3 Green Grape, 2 Portuguese Neighbor, 2 Dr. Wyche's Yellow (6 ounces), Sweet 100 (new), Golden Mama, Jaune Flamme, Large Pink Anna(1), Chocolate Stripes(1), Aunt Ruby's German Green(1), Pineapple (14 ounces), Kellogg's Breakfast (7.5 ounces), Cassidy's Folly, Oaxacan Jewel(2), Crimson Cushion(2) (7 ounces), Australian Giant Oxheart (9 ounces), Hungarian Heart (11 ounces) and Husky Gold for a total of 144 tomatoes.
I was going to write how Sweet 100 isn't Sweet 100...but the apparently orange tomatoes turned red. These tomatoes are nickel sized. I've never seen Sweet 100 tomatoes this large, but I don't have a better label for them...so Sweet 100 it is!
I added fertilizer to all the container plants.
A few days ago my wife spent all day in the kitchen making tomato chutney. She's trying to keep up with all the harvested tomatoes!
I walked around with my wife and told her about six tomatoes that can be pulled.
Today's harvest includes 46 Matt's Wild Cherry, 28 Snow White, 15 Garden Peach, 5 SunSugar, 5 Husky Cherry Red(1), 5 Husky Cherry Red(2), 3 Haley's Purple Comet, 3 Orange And Green Zebra, 3 Green Zebra(2) (not Green Zebra), 2 Large Pink Anna(2), 2 Sweet 100, 2 Cassidy's Folly, 2 Persimmon (14 ounces, 10 ounces), Bloody Butcher, SunGold(1), Green Grape, Michael Pollan, Kellogg's Breakfast, Dr. Wyche's Yellow (7 ounces), Oaxacan Jewel(2), Paul Robeson(2) (8.5 ounces), Coyote (not Coyote) and Hungarian Heart (7 ounces) for a total of 131 tomatoes.
Today we spent most of the day with a fellow TomatoManiac family. They came over to do some home repairs and to join us for dinner. We had some barbecue chicken as well as Paul Robeson, Hungarian Heart and Persimmon. I can vouch for Persimmon, excellent tomato. My wife continues to love Hungarian Heart, again claiming it is her favorite red tomato.
All in all a very busy weekend. Our dryer was modified to accept a new washing machine. Many of our outlets were fitted with some insulation. And an eight foot window blind was hoisted in front of our garage in the hopes of deflecting some of the intense heat. Our barbecue had some added support. Our screen door on the back door was removed to prepare fixing it.
My wife using a food dehydrator to dehydrate tomatoes. The test isn't complete but our taste tests indicate it will be a success.

Harvested Over 1000 Matt's Wild Cherry, 500 Snow White Tomatoes!
Today's harvest includes 71 Matt's Wild Cherry, 31 Snow White, 10 Garden Peach, 10 Husky Cherry Red(2), 7 Golden Mama, 6 Haley's Purple Comet, 5 Oaxacan Jewel(2), 5 SunGold(1), 4 Michael Pollan, 4 Crimson Cushion(2), 4 Orange And Green Zebra, 4 Husky Cherry Red(1), 3 SunSugar, 3 Coyote (not Coyote), 3 Sweet Carneros Pink, 3 Green Grape, 3 Green Zebra(2) (not Green Zebra), 3 Stupice, 3 Green Zebra(1), 2 Kellogg's Breakfast (14 ounces), 2 Cassidy's Folly, 2 Hungarian Heart (11 ounces, 10 ounces), Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red, Portuguese Neighbor (7.5 ounces), Pink Berkeley Tie Dye, Southern Night, Australian Giant Oxheart (6 ounces), Yellow Brandywine (9 ounces), Jaune Flamme, Green Doctor's Kiwi(1) (not Green Doctor's Kiwi), Chocolate Stripes(1), Indian Stripe, Persimmon (16 ounces), Mexico and Black Seaman(1) for a total of 201 tomatoes.
We've now harvested over 1000 Matt's Wild Cherry tomatoes (1039)! It's pretty easy because the plant is sprawling everywhere and the tomatoes aren't big at all. There's plenty more tomatoes to come but the plant will slow down soon.
We've now harvested over 500 Snow White tomatoes (515)! Snow White is strong enough to have a second wind after this initial harvest flush dies off. We could do 1000 tomatoes on this plant.
There are a couple of good sized tomatoes in this batch -- Persimmon comes to mind. However, the overall harvest weight is clearly dropping.
A Sweet 100 is maturing but this maturing tomato doesn't look like Sweet 100. It looks like another SunGold or SunSugar. I'll keep an eye out for this.
My wife watered the front and back yards over the past couple of days.

Harvested Persimmon!
Today's harvest includes 31 Matt's Wild Cherry, 15 Husky Cherry Red(1), 11 Snow White, 9 Husky Cherry Red(2), 7 Jaune Flamme, 7 SunGold(1), 6 Haley's Purple Comet, 5 Sweet Carneros Pink, 5 Vorlon (6 ounces, 10.5 ounces), 4 Golden Mama, 4 SunSugar, 4 Southern Night, 3 Black Seaman(2) (6 ounces), 3 Black And Brown Boar, 3 Black Krim(1), 2 Porkchop, 2 Indian Stripe, 2 Bloody Butcher, 2 Green Grape, 2 Stupice, 2 Garden Peach, 2 Pink Berkeley Tie Dye (8 ounces, 9 ounces), 2 Cassidy's Folly, 2 Quedlinburger Fruehe Liebe, 2 Large Pink Anna(2) (6 ounces), Persimmon (19.5 ounces) (new), Dr. Wyche's Yellow (11.5 ounces), Paul Robeson(2) (16 ounces), Crimson Cushion(2) (6 ounces) for a total of 141 tomatoes.
Today's count is nearly a 30 percent drop from yesterday's total. Did we top out? We'll see. There will be plenty of plants with a second wind so I believe our totals will be strong this year -- but again time will tell.
The harvested Persimmon, Paul Robeson and Pink Berkeley Tie Dye are beautiful tomatoes.
Yesterday morning I added fertilizer to the container plants. My wife watered it in for SunSugar.
Several more tomato plants are ready to be pulled.
Black From Tula and Black Seaman(1) have maturing tomatoes.

Harvested Oaxacan Jewel(2)!
Today's harvest includes 23 Husky Cherry Red(2), 22 Matt's Wild Cherry, 17 Husky Cherry Red(1), 12 SunSugar, 11 Snow White, 9 Black Krim(1), 8 Haley's Purple Comet, 6 Sweet Carneros Pink, 5 Jaune Flamme, 5 Southern Night (6 ounces, 6,5 ounces, 12 ounces), 5 Golden Mama, 5 Black And Brown Boar, 5 SunGold(1), 4 Orange And Green Zebra, 4 Black Krim(1), 4 Garden Peach, 4 Kellogg's Breakfast (9 ounces, 6 ounces, 16 ounces, 7.5 ounces), 3 Lime Green Salad, 3 Crimson Cushion (11 ounces, 17 ounces, 16.5 ounces), 3 Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red (11 ounces, 8 ounces), 3 Large Pink Anna(2) (6 ounces, 8 ounces), 2 Green Grape, 2 Oaxacan Jewel(2) (new), 2 Black Seaman(2) (6 ounces, 6.5 ounces), 2 Bloody Butcher, 2 Paul Robeson(2) (6.5 ounces, 6 ounces), 2 Quedlinburger Fruehe Liebe, Vorlon, Indian Stripe, Porkchop, Stupice, Green Zebra(2) (not Green Zebra), Portuguese Neighbor (11.5 ounces), Dr. Wyche's Yellow (8.5 ounces), Green Doctor's Kiwi(1) (not Green Doctor's Kiwi) and Large Pink Anna(1) for a total of 182 tomatoes.
In spite of the growing numbers we may be topping out soon. SunSugar and Matt's Wild Cherry appear to be on the downside of their first harvest wave, but both are still quite strong and will have another harvest wave or two. Up and comers are Garden Peach and especially Snow White. The two Husky Cherry Red tomato plants have been remarkably productive.
Again, we've had some beautiful one pound tomatoes harvested today -- Kellogg's Breakfast and two Crimson Cushion tomatoes.
When my wife came into the kitchen she wanted to know what these large attractive red tomatoes were -- Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red!
Yesterday my wife watered a lot of the tomato plants. She also pulled out five tomatoes with too much damage -- Black Cherry, Paul Robeson(1), Emerald Evergreen, Creme Brulee and Chocolate Stripes(2).
