We were lucky not to have lost our tomato crop to late blight, as many neighbors did. Considering that we grew so many flowers for the wedding, it was amazing to get any tomatoes at all. There is nothing quite as nice as smelling chili sauce simmering. (Well, pumpkin pie, Jim Lahey's bread or pizza with fresh pesto are pretty nice, too.) Had to make some salsa for the dead of winter, too.
Fall is here, nights are getting cold, and Terry's focus has moved to the re-building of the shed. The garden is going to sleep soon, but not before we pick the rest of beets, carrots and lettuce. The rain has perked up the rhubarb.... but wait, I think I still have frozen rhubarb from last year. There aren't enough hours in the day to get to all of this.
