Yes, We Have Our Tomatoes

The miracle of gardening late in the year.

Remember when I planted two tomato plants in ... July? Well, BARELY July!
And I had only one small tomato to show for it when I pulled them up towards the end of October.
Then, instead of throwing them out, I hung them up. I did this years ago and got some satisfaction so I decided to try it again. Amazing! In the garage with temps from mid-40's to mid-50's, they are ripening.

I have to chastise the hub from time to time if he leaves the garage door open too long. But now that he's tasted them... no problem.

A miracle, I say! December tomatoes.

Oh, they look so good. Red. Ripe. Probably juicy and full of flavour. I am very jealous.
