Life has been hectic lately. Since the first of September I have been scheduling interviews for a province wide competition, over 250 in total. The interviews were held the past three days so life has been topsy turvy to say the least.  Last night I was too tired to even turn on the computer let alone blog something intelligent.
Today life is slowly getting back to normal.  We dined at a local restaurant which specializes in Indian food.  Dinner was followed by a 3 kilometer walk.
When we arrived home it was time to pick the tomatoes. The temperatures have dropped to minus 2 degrees the past two nights. Even though I have been carefully covering the plants, I did not want to take another chance.   We picked all but one central plant, which I’ll cover each evening. Hopefully those tomatoes will ripen slowly on the vine, and taste like only a home grown organic tomato can taste.
From four plants we harvested 15 pounds of tomatoes. Due to the poor summer most of our friends tomatoes were small or blighted.  Ours are huge, and without any sign of disease or distress. The vines were the size of small trees.
Compost ——– they are hungry little plaints save some for me!!
