first (almost) ripe ones

[Aphid]

1)my main tomato patch. the visable tomato in the bottom center is a German Johnson,I estimate atleast 2lbs,,I've never had a tomato grow this fast/large before loks like this will be a record for me.


2)The green romas were a victom of a split down the main stalk, due to a hard hitting afternoon storm. It couldn't survive the extremly hot weather we have had for 3 weeks now ! the plant had atleast 60 tomatoes, it was sad to pull it.
I have a fall tomato to put in it's place.

3)My first blushers ,a 6oz brandywine and my first sandwich size, also a brandywine.
And our first bell peppers.I had 2 cherokee purples last week but the fruitworms got to them, past my daily garden inspection.

so far a good year but the heat and 80%+ humidity.. is taking it's toll on produciton

Holy crap! I'm guessing you've gotta break out the ladder for the plant that's eight feet tall... And that's a huge mater. Shame you lost your roma plant.

Nice pics!

thanks ! The tall one had a 4' cage that it quickly out grew so I added a 4' extension, it's just now peeking out near the top at 8'.
that is a cross between a cherry and an unknown market tomato that the wife brought home..tasted great so i save it's seed.
this is my 4th generation..I have 3 others in a sectioned off area.
we have picked atleast a couple dozen from it.

I still don't count them as my first full sized tomato,,but they sure tide us over till than. very tasty

Oh, so very nice. I go out & look @ my green ones every day hoping for a sign of blush, but they just keep getting bigger.
