end of the season

Harvested this last bounty of tomatoes from our yard this week just as the rains came in. Man we lucked out this year... for how bad the weather was this summer, we sure seemed to do well with our tomatoes and other vegetable/herbs.

I also learned a trick last year... you harvest all the remaining tomatoes at the end of the year (before it gets really cold and rainy) even the green ones. Put the green ones in a couple pieces of newspaper wrapped up... and they end up turning red and ripe also!

Reds, Oranges, and Yellows

I sure love fall. Can't get enough of the flowers, these are a few more I got at the west seattle market again last weekend. $4 for 4 stems which seems like such a steal, and they are huge and beautiful.

Also had to grab a picture of some of our tomatoes that came in this year... we got about 4x this amount in the picture and have been making lots of caprese salads with them. You really can't beat fresh veggies right from the yard.
