Fall Weather Doesn't Stop Production

It's early October and we're well into Autumn, and we are still getting huge amounts of tomatoes off the vines. The plants themselves are looking very old and tired, with lots of dead or yellowing leaves. However, the quantity and quality of the fruit are still very healthy. Although I had written the Sungolds and Snow Globes off for done earlier, they have rebounded with more fruit than ever. Other good producers right now are the Black Cherries, Peace Vines and the Green Grapes. Each of these is producing more than we can eat, and the ground below is starting to get littered with over-ripened tomatoes.
