Today was the official beginning of Autumn. Everyone takes a day-trip to the top of Grand Mesa to view the changing colors of the aspen and other deciduous flora. Archery season is over, black powder season is finished (?) and the main hunting season is almost upon us. I planned to have my tomatoes harvested by now, but the pumpkins are going to be finished before the 'maters turn red/orange/ it would be nice if they weren't quite so green. Because we had a late frost and everything that got started in May got clipped pretty good, I didn't put my plants out until June 5-8. I know . . . Fortunately, I like green tomatoes, fried, pickled, sliced, and am considering making green tomato sauce. My peppers did pretty well. Pablano, Banana, Cherry. Perhaps the green tomatoes could provide the base for a spicy green chile? This could be interesting. If any of you have done this, let me know. Or if you have any other suggestions. I have made green tomato pie, 2 varieties, and will try that again. I am having way too many green tomatoes to fry them all.
