Default ok Gunny, here's where we are at

you said BS when i said we'd get 200-
600lbs of fruit out of our patches. 26
plants total, 24 beefsteak and 2 sweet
100s.

we are at 103 qts of canned tomatoes
or canned tomato juice so far.

at 7qts per bucket and each bucket
coming in around 22lbs of fruit that
total is about 15 buckets or 330lbs of
fruit.

this does not count what we have
eaten or given away. add about another
100-150lbs for those.

and we are still seeing plenty of
fruit on the vines and the weather looks
to be cooperating. another four to five
days and we'll have about 4 more buckets.
after that it will be hit or miss as the
weather cools and sun fades even more.
i'm probably not even going to bother
with the green ones that will be left.
they make good worm food for the next
year and whatever we'll put in those
patches.

peace,


songbird
