Got back after a few days out of town and picked these. Eggplant way too ripe, but I had to get them off the plant.

Harvest yesterday. I have picked about 110 tomatoes from my dwarf plants in about 5 days.

Looking good buddy! I have several packs of dwarf seeds, I got caught up this year but I should plant my second run with the dwarfs, they seem to produce well for you.
May I ask how warm it is out there right now? My eggplant have yet to set fruit and I believe its due to them needing that warmth. |

Magyar Piros Boker is our hands down favorite this year -- every tomato (even the first one) has been full of flavor and perfectly round, unblemished and beautiful. The plant is stocky and not too bushy in size. I'm going to start six or eight more MPB plants for our fall garden. An excellent tomato!

As I type this, its 96 degrees at 1230. My eggplant is doing well, and the dwarves are pumping out the tomatoes in the 5 gallon smart pots.

Ami-It was great! My plant was not nearly as healthy or attractive as yours, but it still produced well and I will be growing it again.

Photo of my favorite dwarf cherry-Mini-Red Cherry. Tomato plants are really suffering in the 100 degree heat, but my peppers and eggplant are really doing well.
