Well it's almost October and I have canned, juiced, dehydrated, diced, peeled, boiled, skinned a ton of tomatoes this year. I waited very late spring to put in my starts from seed I saved. Italian, mini, German and some home grown mixes. I had plenty to share and plenty to grow. I will never ever plant mini tomatoes again, they took over the garden and they drop at the slightest breeze and were tiny. My hybrids loved the drought and stayed on the vines. Garden fabric was great for weed prevention and drip irrigation is the best thing ever. Ours we placed on top the fabric, much easier to deal with.
I have to pull that up for next spring planting. I have canned all month and froze extra tomato I do not have time for.
It has been an abundant harvest this year for us. My kitchen is full of veggies for winter. Now I have to take care of the celery, okra and lettuce.
