Oct 2012

I am in town, and it doesn't usually hit close to all the houses the first couple of frosts, but it was freaking cold!

I had brought in all the tomatoes that were still on the plants and they are hopefully going to ripen on the windowsill. Peppers that are left are all tiny, so not worth picking. Damned tomato and pepper plants are still blooming, better than they did all summer. Dang it.

Here's to 2013!
