Tomatoes in December



We ate the last three fresh tomatoes from our garden at lunch today. Considering that it froze in October here in Zone 4/5, that is so cool! I pulled the vines before it froze and laid them on newspapers in our basement. We've been harvesting "vine-ripened" tomatoes since then. These were Cheff Jeff's "Sweet Cluster". I don't see them on his website, now, which is disappointing, because this was the best tomato we had this year. It wasn't big on flavor, but was prolific and was one of the best quality tomatoes we've ever grown. I had no problems with disease or insects, and they lasted a long time both on and off the vine.
