I can not wait for next spring when the asparagus comes up and I do
them properly by placing a
tomato cage around them which will support them all during the season
so they do not blow
over and get in the way of my mowing.

Today was a very rainy day, and the weather forecast gave a 100%
chance of rainfall. Not often
do they give a 100% probability. And we ended up with about 2 to 3
inches of rain.

But I wish we had rain systems like this during the July summer, not
when Fall Winter since
the plants do not need the moisture. We had plenty of rain this year
except not when it was
really needed -- summer. And our summers are becoming drought stressed
every year. Seems
like every summer is turning me into a "watering boy" when I have more
important projects
I want to do.

Today I harvested the last of the tomatoes, the green ones mostly and
placed them on a
metal grill rack. I find this as the best way to prevent mold. If you
set tomatoes on plastic
it becomes mold on its lay-surface.

I love green tomatoes because by the time December rolls around, I
still have ripening
green to red tomatoes. So that I can have a lunch of buttered bread
with fresh organic
tomato slices sprinkled with pepper. Or better yet croissant tomato
sandwiches.

Looks like I will have no rhubard this year. But not to worry since I
lacked a craving for
rhubard for the past years.

That leaves only the potatoes remaining to harvest. I leave them in
the ground until I see
no more green leaves on stems. The remaining ones still have green
leafed stems. I store
them over the winter also on a metal grill rack in a dark cold room.
