Time to weight in all the tomatoes.. starting with the ones from addition that were picked on Tuesday nicely grouped and sorted by color.
Now off to the main kitchen - also grouped and sorted. The top right and bottom right are those that were in addition but got transferred as they're first to be used. The dark purple on the top left are from the picture of tomatoes that were on the stove - I used up few of those before realizing that they were not measured.
But of course we're not done yet.. because there's a kitchen counter that also has tomatoes that were picked today and few squash as well.
But all good things must come to an end, and looks like I will have only one more large harvest of tomatoes.. maybe Sunday. Then it's just enough to eat as they're winding down... which is a good thing because I'm just on target for needed amount of sauce and it worked out perfectly.
Goodness-what a bounty! You must be so pleased!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even had one ripen yet. Jealousy, jealousy!
:)
Thank you I am happy that I can finish what I need for winter without being shorted out.
DeleteYou are definitely in tomato heaven! How many pounds of tomatoes have you harvested so far?
ReplyDeleteSo far 220 lbs, but I'm at the end of my harvests now for tomatoes. Not many large ones left on the plants. sauce varieties will probably keep going a bit longer.
DeleteThat is an incredible amount of tomatoes. You will be busy making sauce for a wile but will enjoy them for months to come.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'll finish my cookings this weekend.
DeleteWow! What a haul of tomatoes! You will love all that tomato sauce and canned tomato products when these are long just a memory of the prior summer's bounty.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I wish we lived in warmer areas where I could grow tomatoes year round and have them fresh, but canned in winter will have to do :)
DeleteIs that all you got, I was expecting more? LOL, just kidding, that is awesome amount of tomatoes.
ReplyDeletehehehe, yes, I also expected alot more :) but happy to have these for now :)
DeleteGreat job! There is nothing better than homemade tomatoe sauce, salsa, or spaghetti sauce in the winter!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, it is one of our comfort foods in winter.
DeleteWow you sure have tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteYup, making me very happy.
Deletewow that's a lot of tomatoes! How many plants did you put in to get this huge harvest?
ReplyDeleteOriginally over 70 plants. I counted the ones that are producing and they're at 48 right now.
DeleteWow, you are definitely an overachiever. Lot of work ahead turning all that into sauce but will surely be worth it.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth it. Nothing beats organic heirloom tomatoes in taste.
DeleteThat's a lot of tomatoes. I love that you are on target to have enough sauce for the whole year. That's great!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm actually done with sauce now and switched to making salsa and chilli.
DeleteHoly cow! That's a lot of tomatoes! I would love to grow enough for sauce for a whole year!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stoping by and I hope next year you'll have enough for the sauce as well!
