I love this tomato! Love the name and how it looks. It tastes great too. But alas most of them will not ripen this year. It is turning cold and damp so I've picked them today, October 19th, and will make chutney out of them. I've not done that before, fried green tomatoes sure enough, but not cooked down with peppers and loads of garlic as the recipe recommends. Since I have loads of garlic and I understand that the hard necks don't last long, it will hopefully be a good recipe for Mr. Stripey.
My golden beets are looking wonderful but they are small, about 2" or so in diameter, will wait and hope that they fill out a bit more. The nights are in the 40's, I think things will continue to grow.
My peas that I set out at the beginning of August will not make a fall crop of peas. For Seattle I guess they should be started in late July.
