Freezing temps in Texas

[Cyn]

Hi all - we had 29 degrees last night - it actually wasn't supposed to get below freezing until tonight - so my last tomatoes got zapped. They all went in some soup tonight - so they were not lost.

This was a rough year tomato-wise. the plants had so much damage from the raccoon & deer party that they never really got on their feet before the summer heat - and it was hot.

I did get a very nice late crop of Rutgers, nice tomato. Also, I picked an early wonder today (nov 30) that somehow escaped last night's freeze - so I'll eat it in a day or so.

Some of you know that I have been working full-time at a non-profit agency job and having my private practice on the side. Yesterday was my last day in agency work - I am now fully self-employed.

It is a huge accomplishment - my practice is strong, I have learned gobs about marketing, and now I can work 40-50 hours per week instead of 80-90 hours. and you know what that means...

More time to think about next year's tomatoes.

sweet tomato dreams all
