Tomato Hacking

The Juliet and Lemon Boy tomato plants I planted last September have exploded out of control, so I hacked them back quite a bit this morning, taking lots of little tomatoes with it. We picked any ripe or almost ripe guys we could, but there were probably just as many little green tomatoes that went into the yard waste bin.

On a related note, I'm unimpressed with these Lemon Boy tomatoes. We pulled off a dozen tomatoes today and all but the three smallest were cracked, rotting, and bizarrely shaped. I'll have to give those that we did save a try, but unless they are the most delicious tomato ever I'm not sure they're worth the vines they grow on.

Harvest:
2 lbs 7 oz Juliet Tomatoes
11 oz Lemon Boy
