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.

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.

Matt's Wild Cherry Will Shatter My High Harvest Number
Today's harvest includes 60 Matt's Wild Cherry, 7 SunGold(1), 4 Husky Cherry Red(2), 3 SunSugar, 3 Husky Cherry Red(1), 3 Sweet 100, 3 Honkin' Big Black Cherry, 2 Large Pink Anna(2), 2 Persimmon (6 ounces, 6 ounces), Garden Peach, Snow White, Kellogg's Breakfast, Oaxacan Jewel(2), Red Zebra, Green Grape, Large Pink Anna(1), Aunt Ruby's German Green(1), Vorlon, Green Zebra(1) and Golden Mama for a total of 98 tomatoes.
I did a little research last night. Our largest one year harvest total for an individual plant was 1945 Red Currant tomatoes in 2008. Matt's Wild Cherry (currently at 1876 harvested tomatoes) will surpass that amount, perhaps by the end of the week. And we still have 4 1/2 months to go!
We've now harvested 450 Husky Cherry Red(2) tomatoes and over 250 SunGold(1) tomatoes (252)!
I didn't notice yesterday that Quedlinburger Fruehe Liebe and Green Grape reached 100 harvested tomatoes.

Last night we tried the 22.5 ounce Pineapple tomato at our computer user group's board meeting. Everyone liked it! Many tomatoes were handed out as well.

Today's harvest includes 92 Matt's Wild Cherry, 45 Snow White, 22 Husky Cherry Red(2), 18 Garden Peach, 12 Haley's Purple Comet, 11 Husky Cherry Red(1), 9 Portuguese Neighbor (13.5 ounces, 12 ounces, 12 ounces, 11.5 ounces, 8.5 ounces), 7 Coyote (not Coyote), 7 Golden Mama, 7 SunGold(1), 7 Dr. Wyche's Yellow (8 ounces, 10.5 ounces, 11.5 ounces, 12.5 ounces, 7 ounces, 6 ounces), 5 Pink Berkeley Tie Dye (12 ounces), 4 Southern Night, 4 Oaxacan Jewel(2), 4 Sweet Carneros Pink, 4 Hungarian Heart (6 ounces, 9 ounces, 10 ounces, 10.5 ounces), 3 Kellogg's Breakfast (7 ounces, 8 ounces, 11 ounces), 3 Paul Robeson(2) (9 ounces, 9.5 ounces, 8 ounces), 3 Green Zebra(2) (not Green Zebra), 3 Green Grape, 3 Black Krim (7.5 ounces), 2 Mexico (9.5 ounces) (new), 2 Pineapple (22.5 ounces), 2 German Orange Strawberry, 2 Quedlinburger Fruehe Liebe, 2 Large Pink Anna(1), 2 Cassidy's Folly, 2 Jaune Flamme, 2 Orange And Green Zebra, 2 Green Zebra(1), Aunt Ruby's German Green(1) (new), Vorlon, SunSugar, Red Zebra, Australian Giant Oxheart, Honkin' Big Black Cherry, Stupice, Michael Pollan, Aunt Ruby's German Green(3) (10 ounces) and Green Doctor's Kiwi(1) (not Green Doctor's Kiwi) for a total of 301 tomatoes!
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.

The Tide Came Back;Harvested Over 3000 Tomatoes This Year
Today's harvest includes 55 Snow White, 40 Matt's Wild Cherry, 17 Golden Mama, 12 Garden Peach, 8 Husky Cherry Red(1), 8 Husky Cherry Red(2), 4 Haley's Purple Comet, 4 Green Grape, 4 Jaune Flamme, 4 Sweet Carneros Pink, 4 Pink Berkeley Tie Dye (6.5 ounces, 6.5 ounces), 3 Big White Pink Stripe (11.5 ounces, 13 ounces, 8 ounces), 3 Stupice, 3 SunSugar, 3 Orange And Green Zebra, 3 Black Seaman(2), 3 Porkchop (6 ounces), 2 German Orange Strawberry, 2 Oaxacan Jewel, 2 Cassidy's Folly, 2 Michael Pollan, 2 Southern Night, 2 Lime Green Salad, SunGold(1), Red Zebra, Portuguese Neighbor (10.5 ounces), Green Zebra(2) (not Green Zebra), Honkin' Big Black Cherry, Kellogg's Breakfast (12.5 ounces), Big Zebra (6 ounces), Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red, Paul Robeson(2), Hungarian Heart (13 ounces) and Quedlinburger Fruehe Liebe for a total of 201 tomatoes.
The previous high harvest total for this year was on July 13, 200 tomatoes. Usually these harvests roughly follow a bell curve. Once the original high is established, well, that's the high! Here we are, 10 days later with a new high after dropping to a "low" of 112 tomatoes on July 19. I've not experienced this before. I attribute this partially to the weather and more to all the maturing Snow White tomatoes.
Actually I had expected the "high" to be around this time of the year, based on our late planting.
We've now harvested over 3000 tomatoes this year!
Last night we ate another Porkchop. It wasn't as heavenly as the ones we ate Saturday. I recommend eating Porkchop when the tomato is soft, but not too soft.
The maturing Coyote tomato doesn't look like a Coyote tomato. It's something else.
A Mexico tomato is maturing.

Harvested Red Zebra and Aunt Ruby's German Green(3)!
Today's harvest includes 32 Matt's Wild Cherry, 21 Snow White, 9 Husky Cherry Red(1), 8 Husky Cherry Red(2), 5 Black Seaman(2), 5 Haley's Purple Comet, 4 Golden Mama, 4 SunGold(1), 4 Garden Peach, 3 Cassidy's Folly, 3 Sweet Carneros Pink, 3 SunSugar, 3 Green Grape, 3 Jaune Flamme, 2 German Orange Strawberry (8.5 ounces), 2 Yellow Brandywine (12.5 ounces, 12.5 ounces), 2 Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red, 2 Black Krim(1), 2 Orange And Green Zebra, 2 Quedlinburger Fruehe Liebe, 2 Australian Giant Oxheart (6.5 ounces), Red Zebra (was Black Zebra) (new), Aunt Ruby's German Green(3) (10 ounces) (new), Indian Stripe, Porkchop (8 ounces), Honkin' Big Black Cherry, Stupice, Large Pink Anna, Pink Berkeley Tie Dye and Southern Night for a total of 130 tomatoes.
The Black Zebra matured but came up red with striping. So I'm taking an educated guess that it's Red Zebra. The on line tomato spreadsheet will be adjusted to the new name.
The Aunt Ruby's German Green harvested didn't look mature in the shoulders but the tomato definitely felt ready. We'll see when we taste it.
I spent a little extra time during the harvest to tie up some wayward branches and add several stakes to prop up drooping plants.
I've added fertilizer to the container plants in the back yard.
