Green Tomatoes and Peas

We had fried green tomatoes for lunch on Tuesday (Nov. 18). I think that the reason they are common in the South is that the tomatoes are still growing. I picked them because the weather was getting cold enough the vines were, finally, starting to wilt. There were a bunch of tiny tomatoes not worth slicing and lots of blooms too.

On the same day I also picked the first three pea pods from the fall bunch. They were very good, although the peas were kind of tiny. They were all sweet and delicious. They seem to have survived the cold a little better, but it got really cold later in the week and I haven't checked on them again. I would absolutely love it if we could get a fall crop of peas.

So, this week I also got my first seed catalog for next years garden, I'm not sure how they timed it to show up on exactly the day that the rest of my garden wilted from cold.
