Our beautiful garden at the very beginning of September or end of August--can't quite remember. We finally had to mulch everything and pull out the plants about the second week of October. The green tomatoes were all brought in and have been ripening on the window sills. I have done about 8 qts. sauce from just the ones that had to ripen inside. There will be one last batch, but I'll be lucky if it equates to 2 qts. We had a battle with the earwigs over the zucchini plants. In the end I'd like to say that I won, but I don't really know how many more we would have had without those *&^# earwigs. It is sort of funny since two out of the three plants were supposed to have been cucumber plants. Since all that you see here were started from seed there are bound to be mistakes when transplanting to bigger plants. Next year I'll start my parents off with store bought cucumbers--since apparently ours were not hardy enough.
