Last tomatoes

I was surprised to find several tomatoes that had ripened on the vine over the past few weeks, though the plants have been dead for a while. Youngest daughter and I also picked all of the apples from the braeburn. We haven't had a frost yet but the temperatures have been in the low forties and occasionally thirties at night. The kale and chard are still healthy, though they seem to have stopped growing for the most part. I placed some plastic around the frame that was planted mid-July in the hopes that the extra warmth will allow the lettuce to mature a little more before the really cold weather hits. The weather service is calling for snow on Thursday though temperatures will not drop below freezing.
