We had our first frost about 2/3 weeks ago. It was a light frost and my
tomatoes only got a slight touch. But today I looked at them and many leaves
are turning yellow. I was surprised and said, what's wrong with my tomatoes,
then remembered it is the middle of January! I still have lots of fruit in
varying stages of ripeness, tho new fruit set seems to have stopped. And the
tomatoes themselves arent very tastey. Better than nothing however.
