We got a good frost last night, probably the third of fourth one so far. We are supposed to be back to the 80's by the end of the weekend. We are having 40 degree variances between day and night.

For some reason, the frosts haven't touched the tomatoes or peppers. Both are still flowering and setting fruit. It is crazy!

I'm going to can the green tomatoes in various recipes for relish, jam, etc., and freeze some for making green tomato cake. I may sell whatever I can't manage to preserve in some manner.

The freeze got all my tomatoes and peppers that weren’t covered last night. We got a giant stash of green toamtoes but not *nearly* as many as you! My oldest has been begging for fried green tomatoes today and ‘green sauce for my omelette’, ie, green salsa.

Your garden is just continually gorgeous. I have garden envy.
