It’s October 4th, in Chicago, and somehow I’m still blanching fresh-picked tomatoes for canning.
And they’re more red and juicy than my summer ones. Corer for scale.

my san marzanos are absolutely loaded with a new batch of green ones.
I’m surprised, but not complaining.

Show off! 😉 I canned my last juice today and picked the big green ones that remained. Yours are gorgeous and I’m envious, but happy for you.

I’ve been ignoring my tomatoes for weeks and they are violently producing, half dead, unpruned, collapsed. My heirlooms are producing more than they were in august.

It’s been a weird year for tomatoes. By weird I mean an over abundance.

I need to go pick more tomorrow. It took until September to get many and due to a trip many were beyond eating, so onto the compost. But those just coming in, well lots and beautiful!

I’ve still got ripening tomatoes of all three types I planted (cherry, early girl, yellow stripey), but we’re in the phase where every morning the squirrels forget they don’t like tomatoes. Every day the most ripe fruit will have one bite taken out of it.
