You Say Tomato

So robust were our tomato plants this year (by contrast the pumpkins were a complete dud) that our plants were still producing when we yanked them out of the soil last weekend. Harry and Charlotte both engaged in collecting the unripe fruit for what will soon be turned into end-of-season green tomato chutney. After the tomatoes were yanked we planted garlic, a seasonal favorite of ours. Just pop it in the ground in November, sprinkle with the hay inhabiting the Halloween scarecrow and come summer, fragrant cloves.
