Since I posted this, I’ve picked another dozen tomatoes and appear to have another dozen or so coming. Hope I didn’t screw up by not treating the blight 2 weeks ago. Bummer

Been a good tomato harvest here in BR; but mine are on their way out. Not quite like those pictured on Page 1 but heading that way which is about right for this time of year, and does seem we got a longer run out of them this season for whatever reason.

Wife mixed in chicken manure a couple of weeks before planting, unbelievable growth and lush plants.

Creole Tomatoes in my grandfathers beds will produce up into Sept. most years. Well shaded and those beds are fed manure and food scrapes, tilled every other week, and nitrogen all year long. He don't play. But he can also get $3 to $4 for every tomato too.

When I get to this time of year mine are on coast.......I figure anything I get after about the 15th of July is just gravy. Usually the heat and insect pressure, especially stinkbugs, isn't worth fighting.
