We had a lot more foliage than tomatoes this year, but the ones we did harvest have lasted a long time.
This is what was left yesterday after...
...I made this salad.
I bought a number of heirloom tomatoes from the daughter of the people who run Paseschnikoff Gardens at the St Norbert Farmers Market

Far too few of these. |
|
Prolific and tasty |

I don't know that these ones are. Maybe the Manitoba tomato? |
The red cherry tomatoes below are Tumblers, but I couldn't find the tag for the purple ones. I am hoping I can remember the name when I go looking in the spring.
|
both tasty! |
Some were more prolific than others, yellow pear tomatoes, I'm looking at you for sheer volume of juicy goodness.
I harvested them October 14, in the dark, on just before what I thought was a killing frost.

the first picking, not the last. |
I'll never buy Roma tomatoes again. They consistently had blossom-end rot. So very annoying.
Next year I'll keep the foliage under control and hopefully have an even larger crop next fall.
