BigRock, you maka me smile. That was probably taken about September 25, so you are correct, no overly recent. I tried to look at the date on the photo, but it only showed when it was modified, I downsize images to internet friendly size, and I don't know how to see the actual date taken. Learned something today, always keep original picture and make copies, then the true date can be seen. I see that I uploaded the photo to a page on October 1, and was talking about it being about a week before that, when we had some sunshine. Ya, so that would be say, September 22-25 time frame. We did not have a killing frost. You are much more colder than we are, I think the river keeps our valley more warm. Well, it is not warm, but we don't get as much hard cold as you guys do in your valley, smiling.
We have not had a killing frost. As a matter of fact, yesterday I went out and picked the remaining of my red and green tomatoes and they are on my porch resting, until I figure out what to do with them. Got a whole lotta tomatoes goin' on.....lots of work and with all the apples we picked,, our cup is full. Hubby is revamping the apple press, he is going to use a bottle thing, some kind of bottle hydraulic jack. Don't ask me, no clue what he is talking about. He did a whole whack of apples with his turn handle that squishes the apples, and he is so strong that he bent it, smiling. It won't work now, and we have so many apples to press, gonna use that bottle jack. so ya, our tomatoes are good, not browned and dead, everything is still alive and doing well. Not even the canna lilies are blackened yet, now that is a job, those suckers are at least 8-9 feet tall and boy, that is a whole lotta cutting and digging out roots. Not looking forward to that one, but need to get them cut down before the killing frost, cause then you got havoc with mush leaves, sigh....whole lotta work goin' on. So BigRock
we have not experienced yet that killing frost. Have a most beautiful day, CynthiaM.
