Cecilia_MD7a · July 22, 2009

My harvest has begun in earnest. I've already picked ripe fruits from Stupice, Polish Dwarf, and Sungold, and a Hungarian Heart that had to be tossed because it was almost completely covered with blossom-end rot (more like total fruit rot). Everything else has lots of green fruit. Even Church, which was a complete dud this year, has a HUGE green 'mater forming. This is the first year I've used those red tomato trays (my friend JanetM calls them "tomato potties", but she has a 3-year-old), and I think they may actually have helped, especially during the dry weather here in B'more. BTW, where are the thunderstorms they've been predicting for the entire month?

I just hope that another 4 weeks go by before the inevitable blight sets in.
