The open market on Allen Street has closed for the season (sigh). We have had frost a few nights around here, and occasionally they say we might see some flakes of snow, though I’ve not seen any yet.

However, I picked these tomatoes green (two were actually slightly yellow-green) in early October. Two ripened faster than the others. I was apparently too skeptical, so they actually got over-ripe and I had to toss them out. Rats.

But here they are this week (actually, that last semi-ripe one is red now). I have a handful ready to put into perhaps a pasta dinner this week. How lovely!

I think it’s ironic that I have more ripe tomatoes in November than I got all season when they were on the vine. What an odd summer it was!
