Red and Green for the Season


I have not been able to post for the last two weeks. The New Farmer has been busy. It has gotten cold and she has worked hard to cover and protect the tomatoes. Today we decided to take down the tomatoes as it is too cold outside for them to ripen.
















The New Farmer has found that if you took some fruits into the warm and put them under the light they finish ripening.I sampled one of these December tomatoes and it is still much better than what I could get from the store.

Since this test was successful we decided to bring in much of the fruit and see if we could ripen it. I will share some of the green tomatoes with friends if they want to try to ripen some tomatoes for themselves. We picked 15KG of green tomatoes and took up the dead and dying plants and the front yard garden is starting to look pretty good again.
















With the New Farmers pickings over the last 2 weeks plus the large harvest of green tomatoes today I have 24.633KG to add to the 200.053KG gives us

224.686 KG which for the 

English System means that we are now at 498 LBS
