Frost Marks the Season's End
Frost at Midnight
Sadly, frost arrived at TomatoTown. Of course, Farmer J would prefer to cover up the whole garden with a warm, fuzzy blanket, especially, when the plants had made such a perfect rebound. Instead, Farmer T and Farmer J filled baskets and baskets with green and slowly blushing tomatoes. We had planned to make a green tomato pie for Thanksgiving, but after a couple weeks inside in our cozy kitchen, most all of the green tomatoes have ripened. Farmer T isn’t complaining. He has eaten more tomato sandwiches in the last couple weeks than he ate all summer. What a strange end to a strange growing season.
