It's usually just one or two nights, just enough to kill the tender crops, then it turns nice for probably 2-3 weeks. If I could protect the gardens, they'd probably produce almost to Thanksgiving, but we leave for Arizona in October, so I don't even try.<br /><br />********<br />Shawn Ann, I wish you lived next door...I'd share!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-81432315285311823172009-08-12T12:01:17.003-07:002009-08-12T12:01:17.003-07:00So Jealous!So Jealous!Shawn Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16242486533549946479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-23084151640679881772009-08-12T05:18:50.243-07:002009-08-12T05:18:50.243-07:00Boy your garden is sure producing nicely!

I don't want any of it to go to waste, and there is no way we can use it all. Just when I think I can see the end, here comes another 20-30 pounds of stuff! I just sent two big bags of tomatoes, peppers, crookneck squash and cucumbers home with my son. Yesterday I talked my neighbor into taking 10-1/2 pounds of tomatoes to stew plus a small box of heirloom slicers. Nobody can come near me without taking away something from the garden!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-6575010754848413042009-08-11T08:21:00.817-07:002009-08-11T08:21:00.817-07:00As always WOW.

I want to know how many plants you have to get that many tomatoes too. I know it isn't all about quantity though. Quality is even more important and I can't wait for your taste test.Daphnehttp://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-12576405295676647272009-08-10T22:38:51.195-07:002009-08-10T22:38:51.195-07:00Dan, I just give it away ;-)

They are Tristar, a day neutral variety that just keeps bearing from spring until frost. They aren't huge, but they sure are good.<br /><br />*******<br /><br />KitsapFG, I've marked a few for testing, I'll blog about them.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-57832410027491120672009-08-10T21:23:54.011-07:002009-08-10T21:23:54.011-07:00A tomato taste test trial would be fun to read abo...A tomato taste test trial would be fun to read about!kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-92215126159813963542009-08-10T20:42:17.330-07:002009-08-10T20:42:17.330-07:00I think today I'm most jealous of your strawbe...I think today I'm most jealous of your strawberries.

I'm about to go out and throw tomatoes at passing cars. Instead, I'll try to catch up on the already picked tomatoes, 'cause they're ready to pick again. I wish I could send them to y'all. Sheesh, I'm beginning to sound like EG and ribbit.<br /><br />KitsapFG, I'll try to find time to do a rundown on production and taste (the best producers haven't been the best tasting). I started to keep track of which variety was which, but there were so many I resorted to just picking and putting them all together. I need to go out and pick one "perfect" tomato from each, mark them and do a taste test.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-48448948124237837052009-08-10T06:18:56.307-07:002009-08-10T06:18:56.307-07:00I am green with envy over those tomatoes!
