I have heard a lot of people complain that tomatoes are late this year. And, compared to last year, they are right. Everything was early in 2010 and we were harvesting tomatoes in mid July. But, in 2009, we didn't harvest tomatoes until September. 2009 and 2010 are the extremes, and this year is about average; harvesting tomatoes in August.
We have been harvesting lots of heirloom varieties like Black Prince, Matt's Wild Cherry, Green Zebra, German Johnson and Valencia (pictured above). Speaking of Valencia, coming up in a couple of weeks in Valencia, Spain they will be holding the annual tomato fight in Bunyol near Valencia. Please spend the day pelting each other with tomatoes.
