First Freeze
The weather report called for a low of somewhere between 28-34 Saturday night. We still had a few vegetables in the garden that needed to be picked. Most of it was ripe, but we still had a lot of green tomatoes. Anyway, we picked it all. We made fresh salsa, fried up some green beans, grilled zucchini and squash, and have green tomatoes lining our window sills. This morning the car windows were icy. I guess our growing season has come to an end. The arctic death of winter can't be far off.

A trick my dad has been doing for years is to just yank out the entire tomato plant by the roots and bring it into the garage.
The tomatoes will continue to live and ripen on the vine for a few weeks after. Keeps the green ones turning into red ones after the freeze.
Too late now I guess.
Nice carrot.
ethan is a cutie
I like the tomato idea. I guess next year.
Look at that bounty!
Man, it does look bountiful. A lady in Relief Society Sunday was telling Mike's dad's trick. She said they put the uprooted tomato plants on a blanket in their garage and they usually do fine. So even in Rexburg you can do it.
My mom said something about that too. Wow, three different sources. Wish somebody would have told me before I followed Darren and Susan and picked all my green tomatoes off the vine too. Oh well.
Down here in the rural land of Utah, we just get a tarp and cover them in the garden!
I'm glad I was there to help you eat it all! It was delicious
I have carrot envy, mine came out short and stubby this year, any helpful hints?
That zucchini looks biger than Ethan! Courtney
