October 10 Tomatoes

Making fresh, simple tomato sauce right now, herbs, onion, garlic and tomatoes from the garden picked today, October 10 in the mist. It has been a strange year for tomatoes,glad they are ripening this late. The varieties that have done well are the beautiful Black Prince, Costoluto, Star Burst cherry and a variety of small yellow pear tomato. I will probably just plant these next year if I can resist the pull of trying yet again something new.
A little basil left from pesto to add to the sauce, I was sure that it would be black from the cold after removing most of the leaves but happy to say that the pots are holding and the little leaves of that spanish seed basil are doing fine in the mist.
