Hi, I´m Andrea, I live in Argentina. I´ve seen your work, it´s awesome, I like it so much. I like your fotographs very much too, I think they´re very harmonius.
I´m starting my first web site, it´ll be dedicated to show pieces of art, echology, gardening, and other themes. I´ve been wondering if you´d agree to show there some of your fotographs. I´d like to have your permission to include them in my web page.
I look forward your answer. Keep on working, you´re great on it!
Thank so much,
Andy

Our tomato seedlings are just babies, barely a finger height high.

Being right at the start of Spring here in New Zealand, it’s odd to read about you finishing things off when we’re just bringing the first seedlings outside now the frosts have ended.

If the weather holds, I’ll be planting the tomatoes, lettuces, pumpkins, cucumbers and a host of herbs this weekend.

I picked the last of mine yesterday. I still have a ton of green ones, but I am sure sad to see the last of the ripe ones. It was in the 20′s last night, so I guess they are done.

I have a bunch of green tomatoes and its getting colder and colder. Any suggestions on what to do with all those tomatoes that will never ripen?

We had to pull all ours out a few weeks ago after late blight took over. I was still sad to do it because I thought we had gotten close to dodging the bullet. Regardless, even if we had any plants left they never would have survived the last couple of nights. We had covered our tomatillo plants and green bean plants, but in spite of that the hard frost got to them (Hubby’s car windows when he went to go home on Friday night/Saturday morning from work were frosted on the inside and outside). I suppose the cold winds and flurries we had yesterday didn’t help any either (and they were still covered).

We had to pick all what we had left, green ones and all, because we had our killing freeze. I meant to get out and pick the grape ones, but didn’t, so I’m sad they didn’t get picked. We’ll have lots of volunteers next year.

We had a killer frost the other night followed by a freeze last night. I have three small Cherokee Purples and some green tomatoes, but thats it until next year.

I miss the tomatoes more than anything else.

Well, I picked all the red & orange ones yesterday. I thought about pulling up the plants, but I keep holding out hope for the green tomatoes to get red. You’re probably right, though, that tomatoes are all over for the year around here. I may as well pick the rest of the green ones and clean things up. I really do like putting the garden to bed for the winter. It’s sad to see the growing season come to an end, but there is a certain satisfaction that comes with having the garden all neat and tidy and ready for a long winter.

Sadly our tomatoes have been gone for awhile now. Too much rain brought in the rot. =( Most never made it off the vine before they were nasty. =(
