Huge Tomato Harvest at the end of the season
Channel: Escaping The Daily Grind
Date: 2023-12-29

Most of the tomatoes we picked are green tomatoes, but it is the final days we can keep these tomatoes as we are at the end of December and the temperatures are consistently dropping low at night now.  The tomato vines need to go and now I can get some other vegetables in there for the winter like broccoli and cabbage.  

We had to pick all of these because we were having a light frost Christmas night.  We knew that many of these ripened tomatoes would be damaged.  So we decided to pick them all, and also wipe out the plants as well since we are in the middle of winter and they are starting to die back.  This way we can make room for other vegetables and I have plans for planting cabbage, broccoli, lettuce and cauliflower in the bed soon.  

I cannot believe how many tomatoes were on those vines.  I really had no clue as I didn't see the ones growing underneath, and some of these had collapsed on the weight of the tomatoes so they were hiding under there.
