Happy Harvest



Awhile back I rescued my garden goodies from a cold night. We had a threat of cold temperatures, so I went to the garden to pick ALL of the tomatoes - red and green. (The cherry tomatoes are turning red, but not much luck yet with the romas.) Simon wore his warm coat and mittens, which did not stay on his hands for long. He helped me pick the green tomatoes by pulling them off the plant and handing them to me. I cut down all of my basil "bushes". I use my basil to make basil flavored olive oil and pesto. However; basil has a really strong smell so my overflowing bags of basil were banned to sleep in the garage. Well, the basil did not survive so well. I felt quite sad that my largest basil harvest EVER wilted on me in the garage when I rescued it from a cold night in the garden! Happy harvest of green tomatoes and wilted basil!!!!
