Over Labor Day weekend it was over 100 degrees here. Got up this morning
and the wind is howling and it's 55 degrees. Welcome to fall I guess.

It is supposed to be around 80 today and then go back up into the 90s
later. My tomatoes are in the got-no-fruit stage at the moment as they
don't set anything during the summer heat. They'll start again now but
won't have enough time to ripen before frost. Mid-October there will be
some far enough along to ripen on the counter, and I have lots of
recipes for green tomatoes.

How do you like having a plot at the community garden? Are there a lot of people there, do they grow mostly vegetables?

Greetings from the Fire and Ice state of Colorado.

I am so bummed. Yesterday morning(Tuesday) it was a cold 30 degrees at
6am and fortunately I had wrapped my tomatoes for protection at the
house. But when I went out to the community garden where my other
tomatoes and cucumbers were growing, and a good 2000 feet lower in
elevation, all the tops were wilted and black. What gives??? They only
issued a freeze warning for the northern part of the state on the
plains. I HATE THIS PART of living in Colorado!GRRR

   Oh, by the way, it was 50 degrees at the house this morning.

Have a great day everyone and may the frost be late for you all.
