Still a few heirloom tomatoes hanging on.....big rain and wind last night and nighttime low temps are in low 50s now so tomato plants are starting to brown.

I had 5 tomato plants this season, 4 of them gave a good yield so far. The fifth plant grew plenty of green tomatoes and I was afraid the first frost Oct10 - 20th would kill them before they ripened. However, about 5 tomatoes have now started to turn red on that plant, and it looks like in the next 10 day forecast no frost kill for another week, so I will get some tomatoes from that bush. Didn't do well with radishes this year. -Tom

Not sure I could get by on just 5 plants! Haha....but I am freezing tomatoes with the seasoning in the food saver packaging for spaghetti and chili
