With that being said, we've done quite well with our tomatoes.
This was our first harvest, enjoyed about a month ago. We've got plenty still on the vine, however the weather has not been conducive to ripening, so we'll see. Once I'm sure the tomatoes are done for good, I'll pull them out and replace them with some seedlings I've started for fall: beets, spinach, turnip and radicchio. No idea if this is going to work, but I figured the experiment was well worth the $10 seed investment.

Your tomatoes are gorgeous. Well done! I say definitely put those little fall crop seedlings into the ground. Even if they don't get a chance to mature, you can enjoy delicious (and so nutritious) baby leaves from the beets and turnips in salads. I'm harvesting mine now and they are such a treat.
I knew an urban gardener once who told me she was letting "the back forty" lay fallow for the season--the back forty inches! : )
Love your blog.......I read In My Kitchen Garden & she mentioned you.
I'm jealous of your tomato crop; even tho I've gardened for years, I am going through a tomato difficulty lately. I get a few and then hit a plateau where they just don't produce.
I'll be visiting again!!! Anxious to see your garden progress.
