After the Summer Drought and onslaught of Grasshoppers… I posted this photo of my ‘Lone-Tomato Plant’.
You can see the tripod support holding up that little green sprig? That is my tomato plant that survived the summer drought…it lived off dish water! {smile}
Here it is today. We haven’t had any hard frost yet.
We’re having 60° days right now and 40 ° nights. This weekend is predicted to be in the lower 80’s. I’m watching the weather pretty closely. If they say we’re going to have a hard frost – I’ll have to get out there and get all those Green tomatoes off there and get them put up.
This Tomato bush is loaded with green tomatoes!
I recently bought a book titled ‘Country Wisdom and Know How’ …it has several recipes for green tomatoes. I can’t wait.
I’ve never EVEN eaten a ‘Fried Green Tomato’…so I’m looking forward to that and some bread and Green Salsa (not together, of course) ;I’ll have enough to can and I’ll be able to try several recipes over the winter months. I don’t mind firing up the oven in the winter. In fact I do my best cooking when it’s cold out.
God Bless you and Thanks for reading!

That is about the prettiest tomato bush I've ever seen. I once made mincemeat with green tomatos-it was deliscious!
That tomato looks amazing now! I'd never tried fried green tomatoes until last summer. It was certainly interesting.
I am so jealous of your nice weather. It's been freezing here for a few weeks. I lost my tomatoes and peppers this week when the Hubby forgot to close my hoop house. Oh well, that gives me more time to start quilting. I am anxious to see what you do with your tomatoes. Have a great week.
That IS amazing! :) you go girl! We've had frost several times. :(
take care,

Wow! That is an extreme transformation!! I have never eaten green tomatoes either, I want a full report!

I'm a bit envious of your fall garden!! We've been below zero and had 30" of snow already :)
