A Gardener's Nemesis

If there's a sure way to rain on a gardener's parade in the mid to late fall, it's the arrival of his/her nemesis Jack Frost. After having such an unbelievable September and finally having things GROW in the garden, I was really hoping that our first frost would be delayed according. Unfortunately, the day after I start cleaning out the garden it's forecasted. Well, my tomatoes are stripped and my pumpkin is covered....everything else is just going to have to withstand Jack's touch. I guess this means I can pick the turnips now...

Although, another several dozen green tomatoes after several dozen ripe tomatoes yesterday? What's a chef to do? "Sun" drying!
