Weather or Not to Harvest
There may be frost tonight; the low in town is predicted to be 38, and we'll be a few degrees cooler. Tommorow night they're predicting 33 degrees, which means almost certain frost for us. Today's decision: to harvest, or not to harvest?
We decided to harvest all of the peppers. Cayenne, serrano, paprika, oh my! We'll leave the last of the summer squash another day and see if they gain anything in size. The tomatoes we'll leave. You can harvest tomatoes after the plants have been killed by frost. They'll ripen up fine. But you can't can with them (I don't know why, but that's what the recipes say). That's OK-- I have a bag of green tomatoes waiting to ripen that I plan to use for salsa!
