Harvest from July 20

ContainerTed · July 20, 2009

This was a very good day and thought I'd share the visual. I do love this hobby/obsession. That one on top at about 10 oclock in the first picture is Rouge d'Irak.

They look terrific.

That big green one is Berkeley Tie-Dye. The Jalapeno's are "Fooled You Jalapeno". They have all of the flavor and absolutely none of the heat. If you don't like the heat, that one is for you.

What a beautiful bounty, Ted! Where did you find the "Fooled You Jalapeno"? I like a little heat, but my husband and daughter not so much, so I never get to make many recipes with fresh jalapenos in them. I think this pepper might just be the answer!

I believe I purchased them from Totally Tomatoes. They are listed as a Hybrid, but I have decided to save a few seeds and see what comes up next year.

I cleaned and sliced and de-seeded about a dozen of these with bare hands. Then as a first taste test, I tasted my fingers. Then I chomped a piece about the size of a quarter. Perfect flavor and no burn.

Beautiful! And once again, I am jealous of all those that have harvested this season. Hopefully I will be posting pix by next week....I have bets going with the hubby which variety will ripen first. Paul Robeson is in the lead with Stupice and Sungold and Cherokee Purple (which is surprising) not far behind. Enjoy those maters!

Looking good man. The sun god has been smiling on Germany the past few days and the tomato plants have responded. The German harvest is a commin! Don't know when but it's a commin.

BTW, that landslide that happened here in Germany and swallowed up the house was in the old DDR. It was on the edge of an old open pit coal mine that had turned into a small lake. Anyway the chunk of land the broke off and dissappeared with the house was 150 meters wide by 300 meters long. That was a heap of dirt.
