Wind advisory

[kinzel]

Wind advisory because of the remnants of Ike, I suppose, yes it *is* breezy and warm and a mostly blue day with some very busy clouds.

I picked 4 tomatoes last week because of the frost warning, tonight we're expecting temps in the 40s and today temps in the low 80s... sigh. We had a tomato as part of lunch Saturday, the other three are just about red today.. but they're pretty small. Maybe a salad is in order.

Teaser went up before 9:00 if I recall correctly and today's chapter is up as of about 20 minutes ago. Go team.

Given the rainy weekend and stuff to do we stayed in and ran down to one slice of lunch meat, two slices of bread, used the last two eggs, and had to break out the back-up coffee supply.; today I have food shopping and other catch up kind of stuff to do; I've got a couple paragraphs started on chapter 27, hooray... and I might get to chess. We shall see.

I never pick'em until there is an actual frost. If they are under the leaves, they'll be undamaged with the black leaves on top of them (assuming your first frost isn't down into the twenties) and then you can pick everything and make green tomato pickles with what won't ripen on the sill. So frustrating to pick as a precaution and then it stays warm.

No, understand me, we had a good frost ... bu then it got warm again.

I didn't plant soon enough/thin soon enough/repot soon enough, so my one and only tomato is still only about as big as a cherry variety, which it ain't. And no hint of a blush in the green. Though there are now three new flowers on other stalks. I keep moving the pot around the yard, chasing the sun. So far the lowest night temp is upper 50's, so I have hope I may yet get to eat my FIRST HOME GROWN tomato....
