As I mentioned in one of the earlier posts, one of the tomato plants in the garden is an indeterminate variety and keeps slowly producing tomatoes. The other one apparently is determinate because it started growing all its tomatoes at the same time and didn't make any more flowers after that. Jaime has been wanting to make tomato sauce once the tomatoes from that plant ripen. A few had begun to trickle in over the past week, but it looked like the majority needed another week or so to fully ripen. Unfortunately, late blight has caught up to the tomatoes on that plant and have started to blight a few of the actual tomatoes and not just the foliage. In order to save what I could, I harvested all the tomatoes off that plant.
They might look like they are a ways from being ripe, but this variety is supposed to be marbled orange and red when fully ripe, so most of them are pretty close. That is about 11lbs of tomatoes. The smaller ones on top are a few cherry tomatoes from the other plant. We still have a few pounds from tomatoes that we had picked earlier, so we've got more than enough to make sauce with.
