The longer season tomatoes are just starting to really come into their own this year. Really, a month late, but where we have them planted there are not any long term forecast worries about frost yet, so for all we have harvested, there is still a lot to come. Frank there is holding about 6 pounds of Terhune tomatoes. His wife Kathy asked him if we could just grow those and Rumi Banjan next year. <grin> I guess we know what her favorites are.
There is a few Terhunes ready to pick.
We got another 4 gallons of Jimmy Nardello peppers today. Plants are loaded with green peppers, and are even still flowering, though there is not much more than a slight chance those will get fruit to maturity.
Black Triffelle tomatoes are another one just coming into prime. We have harvested about 20% of what the plants have set. Those were the only “black” tomato we grew this year.
In the end we had two flats that looked like this, and another smaller box as well. Frank took about 15 pounds of tomatoes and 2 gallons of peppers. I took 30 pounds of tomatoes, and just as much peppers as Frank took. Not going to process today though. I am thinking Monday is probably the day I delve into all of that which should get me close to 100 quarts of red sauce for the year.
