Today, Larry, our grandson, and I picked tomatoes and peppers. Larry's brother, who lives in Colorado, came over and asked what was going to happen to all those green tomatoes when it freezes. He asked if they will still ripen, and I told him most of them would if we got them picked ahead of time. I just hope my leg gets better enough to cut more things up to freeze.<br /><br />It sounds like you have a good attitude about the changing season.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-19217820512106951742009-10-03T10:05:53.458-05:002009-10-03T10:05:53.458-05:00Those tomatoes look great.

Our summer was really too cold to get a good number of tomatoes but hopefully we'll do better next year. I don't know anyone who likes to scrape windows, if they do they must be crazy. LOL.<br /><br />Jan- Thanks. It was really hard choosing who to vote for. I haven't been very active lately either so it didn't help my chances. I figured I wouldn't win anyway. At least I got nominated AND I didn't come in last so I think I did pretty good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-47039724736628343422009-10-01T23:31:24.544-05:002009-10-01T23:31:24.544-05:00Ugh...I guess we won't be too far behind you;(...Ugh...I guess we won't be too far behind you;( Cinj, I voted for you for an award w/Blotanical.

I feel better giving up since I did rather well anyway. Thanks.<br /><br />Lona- I sure felt bad for those poor plants. I still haven't gotten around to pulling them either.

I am just not ready for this cold stuff yet Cinj ;-) We had our first frost this morning too. Really early for Ohio but I guess it goes with the cool summer we had.

I think it's important to bring in the harvest and be realistic about when enough's enough. Even if your tomatoes refuse to ripen, you can search Aunt Debbi's and Poor Richard's Almanac for tons of green tomato recipes. As they said in the wonderful Star Trek parody, "Galaxy Quest," "Never give up, never surrender!" Clearly, you didn't.
