We had some nice sunny weather this week again. The garden ate it up. We’re now officially “in gear”.
To quote last year’s post:
47.1 pounds of produce this week, including 38.5 pounds of tomatoes.
The days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting cooler. The cucumbers are completely finished, and the Tromboncino may not be far behind. The tomatoes have begun to randomly drop fruit. If it’s not Fall already then it’s coming real soon.
…and 14.9 pounds this week. Roughly 1/3 tomatoes, 1/3 Tromboncino, and 1/3 cucumbers. On the bright side the cucumbers (and everything else) are still a long way from finished. And the weather has been much warmer lately. There’s still time for a late rally.
On to the pictures:

The cucumber plants:
Tromboncino (rear and top.) Lemon cucumbers (front). The leaf color is marginal, but they’re still producing:
A “purple” tomato variety — Paul Robeson. These are new to us. So far, so good:
Black Krims:
The opposite side of the Black Krim box has Tigerellas. They’re much easier to get to:
Taxis:
Sun Golds:
It’s a slow year, and the Romas are even slower:

What I Think Are Gypsy Peppers:
As usual, the Gypsys are doing great.

The purple/black tomatoes look good to me! We’ve had a cool spell here, actually chilly (for us) this morning. But it’s back to heat tomorrow. The tomatoes and peppers love it though. I think your numbers confirm it. My cukes are done though, just a fond memory!

Your tomato and pepper plants are filled with fruit, so many good things to come. It’s been an odd year to be sure. We had such a hot summer, it’s finished off the tomato plants early.

Your harvest baskets look so much like mine! Taxi, Sungold, Tromboncino, Lemon? Check, check, check, check 🙂 Isn’t the production on the Taxi’s incredible? I’m so impressed by them – too bad that some disease got a hold of my plants and is now spreading throughout the bed.
