Non-Green Tomatoes

Some of the smaller tomatoes are starting to ripen. Can't wait to start munching on them.

Pitiful Potato Harvest

I pulled up my red potatoes today. And got a whopping 10 1/8 oz worth of potatoes out of 4 plants.

Grr. I had a really small Yukon Gold harvest, too. I'm not sure what the problem was. I don't think the plants were too crowded or close together. I''m wondering if maybe the ground was too hard for them to properly spread roots and grow, but it was soft and freshly tilled when I planted and all the dirt I used for hilling was also soft. During the growing process, only one plant flowered, and only a couple blossoms at that. Something was definitely amiss. Will have to do some research and see what I can change next year for a better yield.

I'm happy to report that there is fruit on 4 out of 5 of the tomato plants. The Berkeley Tie Dye has still yet to flower. The Cherokee Purple has been dropping blossoms like crazy but I finally saw the first fruit today so I'm hoping to see less blossoms drop. The others are coming along nicely. I've found 3 fruits on the Large Barred Boar and both of the smaller varieties, Juliet & Sun Gold, have multiple clusters going.
