My last tomato plant that was still growing after most of them were done for the season has finally finished growing the most tomatoes that it could during the time that it had. It grew some of the best beefsteak tomatoes this season and some of the best that I have ever grown. This year I grew a different variety of tomatoes and still focused on beefsteak, but instead of a large type I decided to grow a basic type of tomato.
Now on to my fall crop which I am very much looking forward to. I have actually started harvesting both my broccoli and brussel sprouts. I have only begun to harvest just the large heads of my broccoli plants, but soon I will be harvesting the side shoots that come after cutting off the head. So far I have just cut a couple of large heads that were ready earlier than many of the others. I would say that the next couple of weeks most of the heads will be removed from my broccoli plants.
I wasn’t sure if it was time to start picking my brussel sprouts, but the plant had stopped growing and most of the brussel sprouts looked like they were pretty much ready for consumption. Instead of picking the whole plant I just started with about have of them and the rest I will get later in the fall season.
