| Is the one in the middle waving? |
We had a frost warning last night so I harvested our tomatoes.
There weren't many this year. I collected 35 of varying sizes and left about a half-dozen small ones on the vine as sacrifice to the frost gods.
They're resting comfortably under the bed in the spare room, covered by newspaper. At some point in the future they'll be ready to eat. And we'll enjoy every bite.
Happy September, everyone.

We had frost here, too. I ran out in the dark last night and covered my tomatoes.... hope they survive the chill.
Frost already? We're just getting summer.
Keep warm.
Darn Frost!
Have you ever fried them while they're green? Delicious!
And yes...I do believe that one in the middle is waving....
BL, I'm pleased to say it didn't freeze. I think the few I left on the vine as sacrifice worked. Too bad I had to pick the others.
Laurita, we had our brief bit of summer in August.
I've tried fried green tomatoes, Dawn. I may not have done them right because I didn't get the attraction.
Happy September, Leah. I love tomatoes. You can do so much with them.
Sweetie loves fried green tomatoes. He likes them double dipped, egg and milk wash, corn meal mix with a bit of sugar, repeat, fry in hot oil.
However you have them, they should be good.
F is also for flashback. I remember doing the same thing a lifetime ago in northern Pennsylvania, about this time of year. All is changed now, of course, living in the desert. The low this morning was a cool 83 degrees.
We sure can, David.
I have tried them fried, Dawn. They were okay.
Messymimi, I might give that a shot.
Ron, I hope it was a good flashback.
Frost? Already? Where the heck did summer go, seems like it's been here about a week.
Lovely green tomatoes, glad you rescued them!
What is this "summer" of which you speak, Crabby?
Our days are still pretty hot but we're dipping into single digits (that's C of course) overnight. One of your tomatoes is giving Jack Frost the finger.
Hilary, that's it! That's exactly what it's doing.
