I picked tomatoes here in Wyoming on Thursday-just got back from 9 days in elk camp. Gave some to some of the older ladies who can't garden-they thought the tomats just came out of the fridge. Ah, no temp was 38 degrees. We don't always get tomatoes to ripen by frost here. This year summer came late and I didn't
think I was going to get any. But I like gardening because it always teaches you that you are not so smart or in control. I am using raised beds for much of my planting-like Timo showed pictures of earlier in the year. Soil warms quicker for us and makes some things possible that are not normally possible without a green house.
Ah, Citrus, we hope for a bumper crop in Mullets area so we can buy them cheap! See, everything works out!
