With the wet summer, most of the garden got a slow start this year, but August and September provided us with a lot of fresh produce. The cherry tomatoes have been going gangbusters, loads of chiles set, but few turned their mature color. Tonight is supposed to bring the first frost of the year, so after school, both me and Laurie spent a lot of time out in the garden picking just about everything that is frost sensitive. There just isn't room in the garage this year to pull and hang the tomato plants, so we picked every tomato that has even a little bit of color and put them in paper bags. Laurie picked our last couple pounds of pole beans, and I picked about 10 pounds of tomatillos.
