Freeze Damage in Zone 9

Morning, learned a lesson this week.  Do not cover your tomatoes with a plastic drop cloth.  However, when you have lemons, you make lemonade (we already did that this week with the our lemons), we are going to make some green tomato salsa with a recipe found on another Zone 9 gardener's blog.

Here are some photos of the damage and product

I'm trying something as this whole garden thing is trial and error, I've pruned back the last two plants, one is a Hybrid Roma, the other is a Hybrid Beefsteak....let's see if anything comes of it.  In addition, I've taken a root string from one of the Roma's and put it in the Earthbox to see if anything sprouts...who know's?

As you can see, quite lot of salsa ahead of us.

Next up is January's planting's and more garden improvements.  On the slate is:

• Chucking the planting table....haven't really used it
• Adding in two more 2x4 raised beds
• Have noticed a real need for an herb garden, so Cilantro, Parsley, Mint and Thyme will be added
• Starting January/February seeds
• Have another couple of sweet potatoes sitting, just waiting on their slips

Enjoy your weekend, if anyone is reading this decrepit site.
