| Everyone post your favorite harvest picture(s) from this year so far! :) I've had the best luck with my Brandywine and Better Boys, though the extreme temps are slowing down the reddening process and making canning a bit more difficult. The first picture is my first Brandywine of the season. It weighed in at almost 3 pounds!!!! The others are just random shots from 2 different days when my harvest first started ripening. :)

| Beautiful - and I'm sure they tasted |
|
| Aww, thank you very much! This is my 3rd year gardening. I learned from my "Dad" (my father-in-law) who passed away last September from cancer. I've missed having him around to share my successes, so I appreciate you all not minding that I'm sharing it with you instead. :) This is my first year growing Brandywine, and I'm hooked! I've never tasted such a sweet, meaty, juicy tomato. I'd love to see pictures from your harvests too! |
|
| I'm jealous! :) My Brandywines aren't ripe yet and not much bigger than a baseball. They would normally be ripe by now, but Ma-nature hasn't been kind this year. That pic is like tomato porn..... Got to go wipe the drool off of my chin! |
|
| Don't get jealous too soon! My most recent pair of ripening ones' skin split around the circumference of the mater. We had a big rain a few days ago, so I attribute it to thin-skinned heirlooms exposed to a lot of water in one day. |

| Looking Good! Some mighty fine chomping to be had in those pics! Passing through cooling off before a shower and a nap! So far today ... Mountain Glory, Jet Star and Brandy Boy ... another bucket+ to pick yet but it is hot and I'm spent. A bit more than last week, which became 38 qts of whole maters, 5 pints of sketti sauce and 7.5 pints of salsa, these will become sauce.
Fortex beans ... |

| Wow, my excitement over my first little cherry tomato seems silly now... I couldn't imagine what I would do with a table full of tomatoes, lol... I think I'll get there one day though, in a few years when I have a garden, not just a patio :) Seriously though, very nice y'all! I've got three more little cherries ripening this week and I'll post some pictures when they are picked just to make yours look even better :D |
|
| cozy, out of curiosity how many plants to do you have in the ground? I only have 5 plants (2 brandywine, 2 cherokee purple, and 1 that slips my mind at the moment) and Seattle's climate is a bit hostile to tomatoes so I'll be lucky to get any at all. |
|
| Harvest from last week. Top left to right: Jetsetter, Bear Creek, Jet Star. Middle row: Big Beef, Dona, Big Beef. Bottom row: Big Beef, Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red. The middle left and bottom Big Beef boxes are from the same plant. It was from 7 plants in all.
|
|
| Late to the harvest thread, but happy nonetheless: Stump of the World, Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, and Kosovo.
|
|
| This is my first harvest of the season. Came home from a week long vacation to these. Great homecoming!!
This is when your tomatoes return the love you give them!! LOL |
|
This is it so far other than a couple of cherries and a zuke. It's Grightmire's Pride(seed from Wintersown.org). I had to bring it in to ripen the rest of the way so the dreaded doe wouldn't get it. She's already pulled a few smaller toms off of other plants. Everything is late this year because of the weather so we're really looking forward to our first BLTs.  |
|
| WOW! GREAT harvests folks! My teeny garden pales in comparison! Although I do have tons of cherries coming soon! |
