Warm Breath The cycles obvious at equinox Prediction, not promise of eighties today A few more tomatoes may blush be plucked for mozzarella and basil Nights reflect change more than days stark nip and chill Reminder to soak up this warm breath of summer
Reminder to pick all the tomatoes when freeze in predicted, wrap the green ones in newspaper, wait patiently till they ripen. They won't be perfect but they'll be closer to delicious than those from the grocery store.
I'll try wrapping the green ones in newspaper, but we basically rarely freeze here. Maybe once or twice in February. And my husband? At some point he rips out the plants!
Oh, yes, let us "soak up this warm breath of summer..." the last of it... my favorite season!
And my favorite season is spring!

the stark nip and chill - I love it for a few weeks, then I miss summer again!
exactly, and autumn and winter seem so long!
The stark nip at night makes the day's sun feel like an unexpected gift, Didi. The kitchen will miss these red tomatoes soon.
As will we! Oh, I love tomato season, but always too short.
We must catch the last of the red before the winter chill takes over, Didi.
