Yes, the Tomato Ranch has closed for business for the year. It is only a Lettuce and Herb Ranch now. I actually was able to get forty or so tomatoes before we pulled the plants. Most are ripening in those new grocery bags made of recycled plastic bottles. Our Palace Market has kelly green ones and I've got them on my sewing machine cart right in front of the heater. I move the almost ripe to one sack from the still all-green sack. They seem to be doing well. No fried green tomatoes, so far.
And because I haven't given you any pictures lately, here is a late visitor to our garden:
She was just a tiny fawn following her mother all spring and summer and now she is getting some of my nasturtium leaves and flowers. It's OK, she can have them.
She heard the camera and I got some shots of her looking around, but this was the last when she actually saw me (from my kitchen window). You can tell that those sprongy hind legs are ready to boing out of there.
