A month ago? I think I’d cry.

We had a short corn season too, and almost no strawberries! Too much rain and too cool. So sad. I want a do-over on summer!

Good point. I’m always misplacing my gloves. But I have a spiffy new Biltmore hat that I will wear with pride come the snow!

And you would have liked this pasta. No hot spices!

Thanks, Dana. Having read up on the growing process and tasting the results, I’m going to be eating Ontario Greenhouse tomatoes more often — and without guilt!

I remember you saying you area was hit by a tomato blight. For some reason mine were fine and the region seems to be growing decent vine tomatoes. Fingers crossed this continues.

Delicata? Never heard of it. Perhaps this is a case where squash ignorance is bliss — at least until next autumn. Of course, now that you mention them I’ll be on the lookout obsessively.

Thanks, George. Now that I know about these tomatoes, they just might make the long winter tolerable. I can always get decent peppers but come the snow the tomatoes are totally tasteless and have the texture of soap.

When the frosts come? They came over a month ago.
I’m missing fresh corn already. it was a VERY short season here and I think I only got some of the Taber stuff for two weeks, then pouf! It was gone.

I’m impressed. I would have loved this. I really loved the line about “wiping your brow”. I will miss running out without having to stop for a coat/gloves/scarf etc. I don’t mind missing certain foods for a while, as then I love them all the better when they come back into season.
Love you shivery old sister.

Lloks yummy- and rather autumnal at that with the red and the yellow. Nice work. The green house grown tomatoes from Ontario Greenhouses can be so delicious!
