This fall has been crazy in Denver. Our average first frost date is September 10-20 (depending on where you look), but we didn’t get a real frost until this week…over month later than expected! We have of course enjoyed these late veggies, and here is the evidence.
Joel’s brother, wife, and their daughter visited us last weekend, so here are pictures of our niece chowing down on some of the quart of cherry tomatoes we picked.
Since I knew the frost was hitting this week, I spent some time on Monday picking the last tasty treats despite the cold, gusting wind. Â The cherry tomatoes are ripening nicely, but I don’t have high hopes for the peppers and tomatoes that weren’t remotely beginning to ripen.
Otherwise, I’m just hoping to keep a few of the herbs going as long as possible.
