Covered all my flowers and flower boxes. Possibility of a frost the next few nights. Hope we don’t loose much. We’re not ready to see them go just yet.

I hope my pot plants don't see frost need another 3 weeks

Grew my first two five gallon  sized buckets of potatoes this year. After 110 days with the plants looking dead and all brown harvested 3.5 lbs. from each bucket. Only problem was some skin scab with sizes from golf balls to softballs in size. They tasted great!Just watered them every day. Irish luck I guess. ;D ;D ;D

Getting cold at night, tying to get some peppers to ripen/survive a bit longer.

Never tried it but someone once told me you can ripen tomatoes by wrapping them in newspaper, in the event you don’t find a recipe for the green tomatoes

 I’ve ripened  tomatoes , in a paper bag with an unripened banana, but not a totally green tomato
 http://
The fastest way to ripen a tomato is by adding a banana to that breathable container. Bananas release the most ethylene gas of any fruit, so adding one into the mix will boost the level of ethylene in the container and speed up the ripening process. If you don't have a banana handy, an apple is a good second choice.

My green tomatoes will head to the compost bin. Along with the other garden discards.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

It’s good to live within a couple miles of Lake Ontario.  I usually do not get a frost until mid to late October and the last two years not until the first week of November.  Everything is still green and growing.  The spring though, sucks.  That lake keeps us ten degrees colder than people living south of ridge road.
As far as ripening goes. It is actually caused by the production of a plant hormone ethylene gas.  In my former working life, I taught a week long seminar on plant hormones. It was a great lecture for people with sleep problems ;D
To be short, some fruits ripen when in contact with the gas including tomatoes. A green tomato is producing minute amounts of the gas so if you wrap in newspaper, the ethylene gets trapped and hastens ripening.  A better option is placing green tomatoes in a paper bag with ripe apples ( bananas would work too but would get too soft). Apples produce a lot of ethylene.
   You ever wonder why tomatoes are tasteless in the stores in winter.  They are picked green and kept in warehouses that pump an ethylene prohibitory in. Just before shipped, they pump ethylene gas in.  That doesn’t work too well for tomatoes but it does for other fruit.
  Anyone fall asleep yet?  If not, I can discuss hydrogen ion pumps and the cell wall structure of tomatoes. That really killed my students ;D
