Tomato harvest

[jcam222]

My tomatoes are really cranking out the fruit now. I’m the last few days picked these. Cherries are Sun Sugar and Tommy toe. The big ones are a mix of Yellow Amish Brandywine, Chefs Orange slicer, couple German Johnson’s and a bunch of Early Girls. No Cherokee Purple this time. They are slowing down. They are my overall favorite tomato.

Nice haul Jeff. Cherokee purple is my favorite as well. If you like those check out the black cherry tomatoes next year

Nice haul! My tomatoes are done. Ate the last tomatoes when I made the baked redfish ryan. But next years bed is already prepped with ~600lbs. of fish carcasses.....

Nice, we had a good year as well. Was not able to find Cherokee Purple seeds or plants locally. But on next year's list...JJ

Wow that’s quite a harvest Jeff! They always seem to ripen at once and then you’re swimming in them.

Nice harvest Jeff ! Those cherry ones would be gone in a hurry over here. The boys would be eating them right out of the bowl like popcorn ! Lol!

I’ve grown those before and love them!! All the “black” tomatoes are awesome. I’ve grown several heirloom Russian varieties as well. The ones I remember are Black Prince and Black Krim. Another super cool tomato is Aunt Ruby’s German Green. Stays green when ripe with just a little yellow on the shoulder. Full tomato flavor. Makes for a cool colorful tomato plate with the others. I didn’t get it this year.

I’ll probably get a couple more weeks tops.
