Putting their gardens to bed or waking them up, depending on location.

Yesterday I picked a bunch (~2 dozen) of tomatoes from the
neighbor-shocking front-yard garden. Gave some away to the neighbors.
Some were overripe and went into a pot of chili I made last night. I
gues due heavy rains last weekend, quite a few were "splitters", so
I'll have to use them up here.

There are still a number of ripening ones and a goodly number of
greenies of various sizes. I'm in zone 6a (St. Louis) so I expect I'll
harvesting for a while yet.

I'm at about the end of the season - between the cold nights and the late
blight, the tomatoes are slowing down.

Next year will mean a new spot in the garden for them and one more sweet
olive plant. DD ate almost the whole harvest.
