Tomato Tally

In the past 4 weeks, we've harvested 209 tomatoes!

• Sunsugar tomatoes (cherry size):  178
• Early Girl (medium):  14
• Lemon Boy (large):  17 
• Champion (?):  0
• Yellow pear (cherry size):  0 (dead)

Here is our first mini harvest, from June 21st:

From the left you have white chard, red chard, early girl tomatoes, a yellow papaya squash, 

sunsugar tomatoes, and oregano.  Below are wild chives and garlic greens.

I have never had such a huge production of tomatoes... but then, I've never had the right combination of heat/light/fertile soil either.  We've eaten at least a little tomato every single day since the first harvest, and the plants show no signs of slowing yet.  The Lemon Boy is a monster and has taken over 3 tomato cages so far.

Lemon Boy:  A pretty accurate name

Will I let all this gardening success go to my head?  You bet!  At the very least, it's giving me a lot of inspiration to plan next year's garden.

I've also taken cuttings of the Lemon Boy and Sunsugar and planted them in another raised bed, and I have a very healthy cutting of Sunsugar growing in a pot.  I intend to repot it into something larger soon, and then bring it indoors to the solarium when the weather gets cold, to see how long I can extend tomato season.

What have you planted that makes you feel like a superstar gardener?
