Harvest fun

[flyfiishn]

Its been a weird season so far. Beautiful spring weather in Northern California followed by an exceptionally hot late June which wrecked most blooms during that 10 day period. Now July has been cool with chance of rain today. Weather folks are saying we're getting a huge El Nino this winter. Ill take it, we need the water bad.

Anyhow, the tomatoes are kicking out faster than we can eat them, but we're trying and our neighbors are happy to help share.


Black Krim & Black From Tula


I could eat these every day...

Looks great! Apart from bruschetta, a nice salad with basil and fresh mozz is my favorite.. That looks like burrata mozz on there?! Good idea if so! Are those some "Orange Banana" I see in the mix?

Indeed that is Burrata mozz. I cant make them any other way now. It's excellent on the caprese.

I believe you are seeing some slightly green black plums in there. I have to pick all my tomatoes at first blush or the birds will get them.

Looks great, how do you like the black plum?

Looks fantastic. Id' say those mystery toms are a dead ringer for black plum. Mine look indentical. Whats the heart variety? And that heat wave was butal on my plants too, so many fried blossoms.

Today is the end of a period, when everybody had to stand in a queue to eat a ripe tomato from our garden. Now we have enough tomatoes for each family member. Todays harvest:

Indeed the mystery tomatoes were black plum. We really like them too, great on salads. A little bit prone to slight BER, about 10% show some fried ends. No biggie though as its so prolific we still end up with tons of them.

Heart variety is ana russian, really beautiful tomatoes and quite good. Plant is mostly all blooms and not heavy vegetation either. What a specimen.

Plants have recovered now in the lull from the heat and are setting heavily again, just in time for another heat wave.... yuck.
