An early frost in November caught us mostly by surprise.
We managed to cover the tomato plants, but it was a very hard freeze (29.1 deg F by our digital therm) and still managed to kill off the plants. But covering them did save the fruit that was on them.
After a long afternoon of harvesting we have over 20-25 pounds of tomatoes! A large variety and all heirlooms. Mostly they are un-ripe but some are heirloom green ones and others are ripening as this is written. There are some peppers mixed in as well.
Most will probably be made into wine and any ripe ones will be savored and turned into sauce or sliced.

Its really nice to see you guys go country. I am planning the same, and trying to get to a full country settling sometime by next year end or so... :-)
BTW glad at least you were able to grab few tomatoes...
also, another thing is , i am on word press, and this blogger blog does not allow me to follow your blog. Not sure if there is a setting using which you can enable ?
many auspicious wishes.
