the snow and cold temps on Saturday, put an end to our tomato plants.
I'm trying to be sad that the constant, weeding, watering, and lately daily harvesting has come to an end, but I find
I can not generate even a wee bit of sadness. Because with the daily picking of course came the next step doing something with those tomatoes. One can only creatively eat fresh tomatoes for so long, before one's body starts to threaten to rebel, one can also stand to hurt friendships with the repeated request of taking just a few more tomatoes...please. So that leaves one with the fun (at first) task of canning or freezing those tomatoes (I did both this year) and yes I will enjoy these tomatoes well through the winter months but right now I just need a little space from tomatoes. So on Saturday we braved the cold to pick the remaining tomatoes and to clean the garden of all the dead plants. I tried not to be too happy that my tomato days are done for this harvest. I wasn't too successful.
