Freezing

Picked some tomatoes before the temperatures dropped to freezing a few weeks ago. And learned that my yellow tomatoes are ripe when yellow (they don't turn red), and are quite yummy. I saved some seeds so hopefully can try with another plant for summer. Looks like there was no damage from the frost (thank goodness) so more tomatoes are ripening slowly, and the greens like the chard and boy choy are fine. Hoping the oranges ripen soon, but it's so hard to tell when they're ready. I can't handle the extreme tartness so will wait a while longer. The mandarin is blooming again so hoping for a great harvest next year.
