To everything there is a season

And tomato season is over. Kinda happy and kinda sad. The early garden is dyeing, glad all the work is over, but I'll miss all the fresh vegetables. There will still be tomatoes to eat, peppers, okra, beans and peas. Next week grapes will be ready to pick, they ripened several weeks before the usual date. This was the year of the tomato, so big, so red, so many and so good. If you don't put up all the vegetables you can by the end of summer, you will have an empty feeling, not to mention an empty pantry.
