My tomatos are still pretty loaded down, however im having an issue with birds eating on them whereas i didnt have that problem all summer. Is it slim pickins for the birds this time of year, so they are going after my tomatos? I actually saw a big Jay land on one of my container plants and feast.

I spotted 3 beefsteaks this morning that had been pecked/eaten by a bird.

I am now picking at the first sign of blush. Just started that yesterday.

Also i have noticed that in just a few days time, i have some yellowing leaves on the tops of the plants. I guess they are just worn out. I did give them a little food, as im hoping to keep picking until first frost. I still have blooms and tiny baby tomatos.

I picked 19 tomatos this morning, half fully ripe, the other half at first blush.

Im so happy about my tomatos this year i could just squeal......

Obsessed with tomatos....... Emma
