Tomatoes have been ripening here since the 1st week in July. Siletz is still producing but the delicious Sasha's Altai is done since it got mildew. Silvery Fir Tree also produced in July here along with Black Prince.
Disappointed with Oregon Spring as are two gardening friends here.
San Francisco Fog is tasty but small with a tough skin.
Determinates are just about done but still ripening fruit. Indeterminates are coming in now.

Below is the picking from a few days with the basket ready for canning.




Whatever anyone thinks of it, Celebrity is beginning to ripen its many fruits which will go for canning.







The netting discouraged the rats while they were here.


My novelty plant this year.

Forgot to say that I am getting very tired of picking bad leaves off plants! Powdery mildew came early this year. Sasha's Altai got it in July when we had a cool spell. Burned leaves too, with bleach spray after a cool night that did not allow drying with bright sun 1st thing next day.

It looks like there are big crops for many folks this year. Beautiful pics of so many varieties.
My many plants too are making mucho tomatoes. One plant in particular is producing big yields. The seed came to me labeled Fishers Old German. I've grown Old German in past years, but never saw this kind of production.
This is one day's picking of 12 fruit weighing out at 10 1/2 lbs. This plant has made close to 50 lbs. of maters so far. It is still loaded and has the potential to make another 50 lbs.
Can anyone shed a little light on this named Old German. From a family named Fisher maybe?
It has the good sweet Old German taste and a very good shelf life.

Yeah , this is a "feeling good " thread. We get enough of "Problems , diseases, pests .." . That sometimes put me down, feeling bad. I like to see and hear success stories, reaping the rewards of hard work. I drink to that.

Here is my harvest from this morning, off of a few of my plants. Lots of cracking, bird pecks and other imperfections but overall a pretty good year for tomatoes in my garden. I started out with weak looking plants with curled leaves and purple coloring in the top leaves and most of my plants looked pretty bad. I took a few out but kept some and glad I did. They are Pink Berkeley Tie Dye/ San Marzano Redorta/Canestrino/unknown red stripe/ unknown pink-red beefsteak. All delicious....

[NarnianGarden]

Your peaches are my primary reason of envy... since I cannot grow them here. The supermarket ones give me hives in my mouth.. not a pleasant experience!
Tomatoes look lovely, too

[rhoder551]

NarnianGarden, the peaches are from the supermarket. I stopped buying peaches long ago because they were always rock hard and rotted before they were ripe. This year I did buy some and they are absolutely delicious especially the variety with white interiors. I'm addicted...

[NarnianGarden]

You are blessed to have delicious peaches available in your supermarket!
We have the white kind here too ... often they even taste good, BUT the residue (whatever pesticide / fungicide is still present in the fruits) gives me allergic reactions.
The same for plums... they're fine when cooked as jam, but I have stopped eating them fresh.

OK, I had to get in on this thread, so I went out and picked a few just to show you they are getting ripe.
