We had a touch of frost out in the meadow last week of Aug. (not near the house or garden). It's September and my tomatoes are FINALLY STARTING TO RIPEN. My mom used to can tomatoes by the bushel/gallon. Fond memories. Thanks for the tip on roasting them. Happy canning! Jan I’m experienceing a bit of growing season envy.

I love love love herbs and look forward to delving into all of your information here. thanks!

And Jan, frost in August? Wow. I grew a hundred pounds of tomatoes my last year in Norwich. It must be the elevation. (As for me, I'm looking forward to fall. The walnut tree in our yard is starting to turn a bit yellow...) Thanks, Kiva and Riana.

I tried it when I made some sauce last weekend. I hadn't done it in decades and it was really good (several cloves of crushed garlic, a chopped onion, sauteed in olive oil, the roasted peeled tomatoes, slightly blended with some fresh basil and oregano added, and then cooked down for a few hours). Todd was very enthusiastic about the taste. I am planning to grow more tomatoes next year and maybe do some real canning. And so far the frost is still holding off (although it is getting close).
