November 10th

Some more virus afflicted tomatoes from Sean's Sweet 100. The weird splotchy patterns definitely weren't present on the previous tomatoes. The leaves still look wonky, but it surprisingly still has a lot of flowers.
Tomatoes from the large plant, I think they're ready to harvest!
The kale has gotten pretty big! Some of the older leaves have been attacked by something, but the marks don't look like they're from caterpillars since some of them are in the middle of the leaf?
Three of the beds were mulched this week! I'm hoping I never see a weed again.
Everything was super weedy before mulching, a horse could've survived for weeks off of our weeds.
Its clear I harvested this one too late since it cracked, but its huge! My family ate in a couple of days later when it was ripe, and they reported that it was delicious.

    1. The tomatoes from the first picture are from a cultivar called Sweet 100, and the rest are Tribute.

  2. What impact do you think the virus will have on the tomato yields?

    1. I don't think the virus is severe enough in any of the plants to drastically affect total yield, but the marketable yield would be much lower because of the unusual patterns.
