The Plant Lady

I brought in the last tomatoes yesterday. There were tons of tomatoes...I think the tomato plants were more productive from September till November than during the whole summer. It shouldn't be a surprise, I guess, since our summer temperatures are always above 95 degrees.

Several of them were ripe enough to eat, so those will go into the fridge. There are too many to eat in the next few days. The green ones I packed away in trays with shredded paper. They will ripen over the next few weeks and should keep in storage until we can eat them.

I can't believe it, but we are still harvesting tomatoes out of the garden!

Yesterday I picked Tigerellas, a Paul Robeson, Black Plum, Green Zebra, Oaxacan Pink, and an Early Girl. A Martian Giant split from the rain, so it was no good, but it would have been, if it hadn't rained.

Still on the vine is one last Pineapple Tomato and a bunch of Early Girls and Better Boys. :) We'll see if they continue to ripen on the vine. Eventually I need to take them inside to ripen, though.
