I wish I knew what I did to my tomato plants this year!

After work I picked another 20lbs of tomatoes. It's late October and we've had two frosts already! The damn plants are still putting out flowers.

At one point this year, the plants were almost 7 feet tall until a rain storm knocked them down the the height of the support trellis.

We have over 100 lbs of peeled & seeded tomatoes in the freezer, and I have given away nearly 100 lbs too.

I'm sure next year I will get two tomatoes total.

My plants are not flowering as the multiple frosts have turned them brown. But I still have ripe tomatoes and green ones coming on plants that look dead for the most part. Last year we hardly had any that were not blighted.

Ours are simply awful.

Too damn cold this year.

Ours produced many tomatoes, but they grew so fast with all the rain, most of the fruit split and rotted on the plants...

Maybe 30 quarts of tomato products canned. We could have easily gotten 3 times that.

My whole garden sucked this year. The watering system broke down while we were away on vacation in the spring and 3 weeks without water in 90 to 95 degree temps turned just about everything into crispy critters. I was too busy at the time to replant, it was too late anyway, and never got round to it in the fall. All in all, a lousy gardening year.

Make the most of it Dave. You know how gardening is, no two consecutive years are the same. Next year it will be the peppers turn.

Thanks to a few rather large hail storms , about all we got this year were stewed tomaters

Did not have a very good year all all this year. As soon as I cut off the suckers (which I do every year), it seemed like the plants just shut down. Of course, this is just the opposite of last year when we had a bumper crop and even had a hard time giving them away. I guess we'll just wait to see what 2011 brings. That reminds me, I gotta get the garlic in the ground pretty soon.
