Last BIG Harvest of the Season

Even though we've got another small heat wave rolling in this weekend, autumn is still coming..time to start thinking about cleaning up the garden and trimming back landscaping around the house.
This will be the last big tomato harvest of the year. Which is sad and fantastic all at the same time. My freezer can't take ANY MORE tomatoes!
Had about five gallons harvested when the dust settled. I also trimmed the plants back quite a bit - hopefully they'll get a little more sun and air this way, and they can focus on ripening the fruit that's still left on the vine. Not sure where I'll put all the fruit that's left on the vine..but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

It's that time of year, again!

Mine all mine!
This was my first good sized tomato harvest this year with several varieties to sample:
Italian Heirloom, Amish Paste, Cherokee Purple, Green Zebra, Cherry Roma, and more!
I purchased the tomatoes as small plants from Seed Savers Exchange in Decorah, Iowa and it's been fun to watch them grow and produce in a BIG way!
