So far my plant has delivered about 148 tomato's plus there are about 52 more ones on the same plant--these are green different sizes...This plant has been productive I think and is this amount normal? I went to wiki and got this address for tomato's.. How are your veg..doing?

Wow, Mrs. Clancey, when you undertake a new task, you really do it! Good job on your tomatoes. When the weather looks like it will finally get cold, bring those green tomatoes inside. They may well ripen on you after a couple of weeks. We harvested a bunch of green tomatoes and peppers last year on Thanksgiving day before a freeze, and I think we had some tomatoes and peppers around Christmas.
I’ve cut down a number of tomato plants, and there are others that I probably should pull out, but I haven’t made the time to do it, and they’re still producing. Some of my plants that were really overgrown and not as healthy as I’d like, I trimmed way back, and they’ve grown up again.
This was my (German) Orange Strawberry tomato plant that had grown so much that the trellis had fallen over, and the foliage was outside the garden fence. I cut it down to two stalks just a couple of feet high, and now it’s over the seven-foot trellis again with several green fruits. I sure hope they have time to mature.
My cucumbers are all gone from this bed, but the row of peppers are doing well. I just harvested some red banana peppers, but there are a lot more still to come.
I’m also trying tomatillos for the first time this fall. I had planted one in each of the large pots, but one of them got eaten up just at the time the other was ready to bloom. I had to replant because I think tomatillos need cross pollination, and finally the younger plants are blooming, and there are husks forming on the largest plant. I hope that means it’s setting fruit.
We are also trying for some fall potatoes this year. I planted two beds of small store potatoes that I had sprouted, and they are slowly coming up. This corner is the farthest along. The back row of foliage is the cowpeas that are still growing on trellises. The potatoes have the middle and front on the bed.
I still have sweet potatoes that are waiting for harvest, and I’ve transplanted some starts of broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, napa cabbage, artichokes, and rhubarb. Most of it looks good, though I am seeing evidence of chewing on some brassicas, and some of the rhubarb looks like it wants it to cool off. We may have a chance for some rain later this week. It’s been pretty dry.
