Our tomatoes look like they're about at the end of the line. Good plants...they've given us about 20-30 pounds of delicious harvest this year. So do I pull them out now?
Here's what I harvested just now before starting...along with a couple of pearl onions that spontaneously grew in the onion plot that I harvested months ago. Not one to waste anything, I'll add all this to a salsa later. I have some good peppers to use, too.
Well, the weather's still hot. Around 100 today and it won't really get cold here in Southern California for a couple of more months.
How about instead of cutting them down, I just cut them back and see if they grow another crop? As my friend Max Arteaga might say "Why Not!"
Also today, I notice that some of my cara cara navel oranges are splitting. Hopefully, the rest of the fruit on this primadonna of a plant will make it to harvest time in December. I always have a hard time getting a good crop off of it...last year it was about 16 very delicious oranges. It is a dwarf plant.
Finishing off today's chores with mowing my sun-scorched lawn and sweeping the patio.
Happy gardening!
