Mary-Anne & Carol, it's down to 49 degrees outside there by the tomatoes -- and I heard a report that we would have a hard freeze by morning. Does not sound good for all those lovely green tomatoes -- I got called away today very suddenly, and never took them in. Worse than that, I also did not harvest the pineapple!!! Absolutely incredible . . . It's midnight -- I wonder if my hubby would like to make a foray out into the moonless night with me for a bit of crop vandalizing...?? I think I'll call my daughter's Italian mother-in-law and ask her how she fixes her pickles... They used to make their own wine, but whenever she served it to us, she diluted it with 7-Up, it tasted so bad . . . perhaps I should forget about her pickles . .
