Well, the cold has officially hit. It will warm up again, but our lows over the last couple of days have been down in the teens (not normal for Santa Fe in November), which has given me some pause. After last years mild winter, I'm wondering how this winter will really treat us...
Anyhow, we're lucky enough to still be pulling a few slowly ripening tomatoes each week. This week we had five Orange Flesh Purple Smudges ripen up. While these guys are beautiful, I'm unsure about their taste. They're pretty mild (nothing exciting), but I'm not sure if that has to do with their variety or with the fact they're being ripened indoors instead of outside in the (no longer warm) sun. Regardless, I'm grateful for tomatoes in November :-)
- Tomatoes = 1 lb 8 oz
- Eggs = 19 ...cooler temps + a few still molting chickens = not a whole lot of eggs...especially for a two week tally!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
Happy harvesting!

Nice to still have tomatoes! Just bringing the Brussels sprouts and cabbages at this point.
ReplyDeleteThose brussels sprouts sound wonderful to me! I didn't plant any this year and am regretting it! Happy harvesting!
DeleteSometimes we are surprised by the way the season develops, while your wondering about your winter I'm worrying about our Summer, so far our spring has been very dry. Great looking tomatoes(another type I haven't seen before) and just love their name! lucky you to still be enjoying fresh tomatoes.........
ReplyDeleteOh man...that was our spring into summer this year! I do hope you get some moisture!
DeleteYour tomatoes look gorgeous, they may not be exciting, tastewise, but still a whole lot better than store bought.
ReplyDeleteTrue story, Norma!
DeleteI find the late tomatoes tend to lose their flavour a bit - I suspect they need a bit of heat to taste really really good.
ReplyDeleteYeah...heat...ah well :-) I'll take 'em!
