tomatoes and frost


Hi all,

Two nights ago I had my first frost in 7 years.  It was light and the only
thing slightly damaged was one tomatoe plant.  Just afew of the upper leaves
were zapped.  I picked about a dozen undamaged,  but not very sweet tomatoes
on Christmas day.  

I marinated them about 4 hours cut in wedges in some oil with balsamic
vinegar,  ample sliced onions and garlic,  with Italian seasonings and a dash
of sugar and salt.  They were excellent.  I used the marinade as the lettuce
dressing.  I spread the tomatoes over the dressed tossed lettuce with some
freshly made croutons.  It was both beautiful and good.

I also got my first seed catalog about a week ago.  I can hardly wait for the
others to arrive.
