Say it isn't SO!

[Broke Down Ranch]

I feel fall in the air. Our low last night/this morning was 51 and I fear our first frost is not far off. I'm SO not ready for it - I have about 10 billion little greenie tomatoes out there and we won't even TALK about the cauliflower I planted in April that is now almost 4' tall and nary a head! Is there such a thing as a cauliflower tree??

I know there are many out there that have already had hard freezes and I am sorry that your season is long over. But I take heart in knowing that with fall in the air spring is just around the corner and before I know it I will be starting my little seeds in my little greenhouse praying for an early last-frost.....

So sorry, but I'm afraid it is so.

We are also awaiting the arrival of the cold front, supposed to leave our high around 40 with 20mph north wind. ETA--any minute now. It's dead calm, misty & almost warm. Makes me nervous.

Made a last run out to the farmers market this morning. Not that there's much left up here this late but I was hoping somebody could tell me that they still make clear plastic with the embedded wire and where to get it. No luck. Peas and salad stuff will have to tough it out with old sheets this time.

I think I got maybe a month left before my first frost but I saw my first tomato and only tomato on the plant I planted in July. I doubt I will get much else and I have been nursing hat little plant for along time. Do you have the two warm season like I am supposed to? Do you have a stopping in the middle of july and august?

I believe so but this year was the first time I paid attention. I may have had tomatoes thru the entire summer but I let aphids overrun my tomatoes and dang near lost them. Finally got them under control and now there are many, many little greenies out there. I just pray for the rain to quit for a while and warm temps for another month. Just 1 month and I will have another bumper crop of tomatoes. Maybe I will be happy with that until spring when I watch anxiously for my little seeds to sprout.
