One day I will be able to get a maid and the girls will be grown and I can be a FULLTIME gardener. (Hubby suggested I try to take a few classes at the local college...If he only knew what he just started! )

Things are looking up some, but I'm losing fruit to bugs and heat. Here are the latest pickings...the biggest one is a Mortgage Lifter, one pound plus. Three are Delicious (I haven't tasted one yet,) one's a Brandywine, and there are a couple of German Red Strawberries. Notice the reading glasses for scale.

Awesome fruit Dave! I still have yet to get any color on any large fruit. Black cherry is finally ripening. Should finally taste those this week. Sungold is ripening a few a day now. Those things are SOOOOOO good. If any of you haven't tried sungold for a sweet cherry tomato, you HAVE to grow it next year. SFT is finally ripening and so is Citron Compact. That Omar's that I posted seems to get bigger and bigger every day. Can't wait for one of the big ones to ripen. Got the bacon all ready!

John, you'll be having fresh tomatoes at Thanksgiving by the looks of things. My brandywines were green forever it seemed. I was beginning to wonder if I had planted green tomatoes.

Bestofour, have you grown Brandywines before? I have never tasted a better tomato. I have only picked one this year and am waiting for it to get fully ripe.
John...update us on Black Cherry!
Wrennie...did the deer leave enough for a crop?

Haven't picked them yet Dave. Probably today or tomorrow. I did pick a citron compact last night. A salad size, bright yellow beauty that was delicious. Got a picture of it yesterday that I'll post later.

Yes there are still some blossoms. i should get something out of them. i put some old refrigerator grills/bread trays ( ![[dunno]](im/graemlins/dunno.gif)
) flat on the ground behind the garden so the deer wont step there anymore. Now I need one for where the beans are going on the outside of the fence, and the cukes, and the mystery gourd/pumpkin... ![[perplexed]](im/graemlins/dingbat.gif)

I have found out the hard way...The way to keep deer away from your plants-veggies or flowers (trees & bushes)Take a bar of soap and shave it off into curls and spread around the plants or put them in an old nylon stocking ![[shocked]](im/graemlins/shock.gif)
oppps tells how old I am...I mean panty hose And hang them around the plants or could be placed on the ground around the plants.

Nice looking crop you have there John!!!!! So how are the Black Cherries???? I had started some Black plum, something beyond my control caused me to not get them in the ground ![[tears]](im/graemlins/crying.gif)
So I lost the plants, So maybe I will try again next year.

They were very good Comfrey. Slightly on the large side of a cherry tom as you can see in the side by side pic with the sungolds, but definitely worth growing again. VERY large plants. The one plant I have has grown up and over a six foot tall mesh cage.

Everything looks soooo good!! I've still had hardly any red tomatoes! I've picked a lot of peppers (sweet bell, chilis and jalapenos) but none of them have turned red either. I'm beginning to get a wee bit impatient. I'll post pics as soon as I have enough worth showing.
Great job John (as expected!!).

Latest shot of most of my plants...Aunt Ruby's German Green is the plant on the far right corner. Six and a half feet and still going!
Lucky Leprechaun in my main garden loaded with fruit...
Black from Tula has about 10 fruit on it so far...(disregard the flea beetle...It met it's maker soon after I snapped the shot...)
Black Cherry is loaded with fruit...
Mortgage Lifter has a couple large ones...
Largest fruit so far definitely goes to Omar's Lebanese. This puppy is 6 inches in diameter and still growing. This plant supposedly can yield 3 lb fruit at times...
Lime green salad is darkening up. Maybe another week or so for my first ever green-when-ripe...
Wish we weren't limited to 8 images per post...
Happy tomatoes to all...
