How are your Fall Toms doing?

I couldn't plant anything and expect it to thrive until early September. I am harvesting some nice fall tomatoes, but not in the quantities I get most years. The only large tomatoes I have are Mortgage Lifters. They seem to produce size much faster than many other varieties. We have experienced a couple of light frosts so most of my plants have frost burn at the growing tiips. I'm hoping that will speed up the ripening process before we get our first hard freeze.

Ted, this is what they looked like on July 25th. http://www.tomatoville.com/showpost....&postcount=291.

They took the heat even as seedlings. I am definitely saving seeds on this one.
