Today's tomato picking included two varieties of yellow slicers.

First off I picked 5 nice Harless Creek Golds. I have been picking the Harless Creek Golds steadily ever since they started getting ripe this season. They are late and take awhile before you get any tomatoes. But they more than make up for it by keeping up the production of nice large really excellent tasting beefsteak type slicers. And the tomatoes stay large even this time of year.

I also picked quite a few Azochka. Now these were not as large as the ones Azochka set earlier in the season. But it is early, gave me lots of nice tomatoes early in the season. Then it quit production. Only started up again late in the season after taking the hot part of the summer off.

But it is a winner for me as I liked the early production and the fact that I am picking late tomatoes from it now. I had plenty of other tomatoes in the main season so didn't much miss it.

Both of these are coming back next year. Will start seeds like I did this spring.
