Quite the harvest

This past Summer in AR was Super HOT and Humid from early June until forever. For some reason some things in the garden could NOT grow in these conditions. Tomatoes were one of those items. But, in September, when tempertures finally reached bearable levels, the tomatoes finally became more than just plants. Tomatoes broke out all over. The problem is that there were not enough days for them to fully ripen. We took measures to cover the garden on nights it was going to be really cold and they kept on growing. On Thanksgiving day, we decided it was time to pick them. Some are close, but others are really green. So we will have fried green tomatoes and hope that most of them will be able to ripen now that they are off the vine.
