    Default I'm still harvesting!!!

    I am amazed! I live in Northern Illinois, and normally by the mid to end of September, we've frosted and my garden is pulled and ready for winter.

    I went to pull it last weekend and becuase of the unseasonably warm weather and the fact that we haven't had a frost yet, I've still got good produce out there! I am so amazed! I've never been harvesting cukes and tomatoes this late in the season here!

    I'm lovin' it! Just had to share! Just need to keep serving recipes to use them all up!

    I too am still pulling tomatoes off the vine. They are not as big as summer tomatoes, but they get the job done and still taste fabulous.

    Anyone want a tomato, bacon, egg and cheese sandwich?
