I had 16 plants. They were producing a bucket full a day.  Then we got blight. No mas. They are toast for the year. Sadly.

Mine are just turning red, finally! Had a late start getting them in the ground due to weather.

My wife had some on the deck . There was a perfect tomato growing there about an hour ago. Not anymore. Them dirty chickens got out of the coup and ate the thing right off the plant. I hate those chickens more every day.

I planted determinate tomatoes this year and they are through for the year. My BIL has some indeterminate and we are still eating a few out of his garden.
Not meaning to hijack the thread, but I planted a few rows of fall peas, yesterday. Need some rain.

I picked 3 five gallon buckets yesterday and made 42 pints of salsa Lucky Bastid!   I'm just getting some of the "Patio" variety I have in a container. And a few cherry type. Have five more plants just setting fruit as I was really late getting them in due to not knowing if I was retiring this year or not. I did, and found some gallon size plants on sale at the local farmers market, end of planting season sale so they were cheap enough I thought I'd take the risk. I've got hoops for the beds and can cover them if we get a light frost early in Sept. Hard frost and I'm outa luck. Next year I'm hoping for a bonanza like earlybird ! Geno

Just got the first ripe one (Early Girl) a couple days ago. Our generally cooler PNW summers mean august for tomatoes unless you have a greenhouse, and by mid september the nights are getting cool and damp enough that you need to pick the unriped ones and finish them off inside. Trying a couple heritage varieties this year (Manitoba and another one with black shouldered fruit) but no ripe ones to sample yet!

We are getting a pretty good supply from the four 5 gallon buckets out by the deck. We get hailed out so often that it is that or watch them get pounded every year.
