As it was getting cold outside and they were predicting frost, I changed into a shirt and sweater and picked the few remaining vegetables in the garden. It was like pulling the scab off a wound as I said goodbye and good riddance to my failed garden. I would have cursed the rabbits, where the blame really belongs, but the Lord God, made them too damn cute. C’est la Vie.

I picked three or four nice eggplants and a bunch of small peppers. I also picked some tomatoes off the pot by the deck that were just getting pink. Those will ripen in the house. There were several nice green ones. I’ll take my chances on those, as they need a little pink to ripen in the house.
