Cold weather and a near-frost reached Albuquerque this morning, and we almost let these tomatoes go to ground. I had forgotten that I bought a package of seeds for orange tomatoes, and the bush behind was loaded with them, with Marolynn waiting to pick them till they "ripened" into red tomatoes. I remembered what I had done and we got these orange tomatoes inside to eat. They're very sweet, really a nice fruit. The weather will warm up and hang on for another week or so and then we'll have to pick all the tomatoes, green, orange, or red to save them from the real frosts to come.

great to see such a harvest. A year and a half ago I planted a Roma tomatoe in the front courtyard by the waterfall - it was just covered with tomatoes. This year I have not been home to plant but when I went to do some weeding the end of August there was a tomato plant (from seeds of the last year I guess) just loaded with tomatoes. My good friend Sally has been picking them every few days!...
