today's harvest

[habitat_gardener]

I picked about 15.5 pounds of tomatoes today and a few other vegetables.

Here's what's in the photo, starting with the box in the upper left. (I've added some comments on the names below.) I pick at first or second blush, which is why some of them look a little pale.

box 1 -- 2 Croatia Joanna, 2 small Speckled Roman, 10 Cour di Bue, mix of Tommy Toe and Black Cherry, fava beans

box 2 -- 2 Black Pear/Siberian, 4 Palo Alto, 2 Pork Chop, 1 Tatume squash, 1 Prudens Purple, 3 Sicilian

box 3 -- leaf lettuces and 2 types of basil -- Italian Cameo and Violetto Aromatico

box 4 -- 4 cucumbers (Japanese Long and/or Tastygreen Burpless, plus an overgrown Persian), 12 Cour di Albegnia, Sun Sugar cherry tomatoes

box 5 -- pole beans (Rattlesnake, La Vigneronne, Waterloo Co. Mennonite, Purple Pole, Scarlet Runner, Trionfo Violetto, Musica, and maybe others), overgrown Odessa squash, and the last of the dried Pink Half Runner beans

About those names...I bought seedlings at a local sale and that's how they were spelled. I know it should be Cuore, not Cour, even though these tomatoes are not "cuore" shaped. But all of these tomatoes are wonderful! No duds this year.

Some of the Palo Alto tomatoes have been fused, with each part maturing at a different time, which is why it looks like there's a strange whitish growth on one of them.
