We had a wonderful vacation, fulfilling a lifelong dream. We returned to an unusually harsh cold snap and had to scramble to get the sides back in on the greenhouses and high tunnel and all of the tomatoes and tomatillos picked in the field and garden.
As usual, we had thousands of tomatillo plants that had to be pulled up and everything bigger than a marble, picked and husked.
I know this sounds silly but, this is the Smoked Tomatillo Salsa for the rest of the year! ...and now- it's 70 degrees! I mean we usually do get a frost this time of year but a hard freeze like this is very unusual. We did get all of the tomatillos in with the help of some of our volunteers and the tomatoes. 
We saved the Greenhouse and High tunnel tomato plants, some Genovese Basil and the Cardinale that we use in the bouquets and all of the peppers in the old greenhouse. Unfortunately, those are not the best performing tomato plants and even double covered, the Zinnias and Marigolds got hit. I cut several buckets for bouquets this weekend, but that's the last of them, they are done.
Once again, jars are getting really hard to find, so if you have any of our jars hanging about, we'd really appreciate it if they came back. It's hard to believe that the season is almost over. Three more markets and we go into the Holiday ones but at least we'll have tomatillos!
So that's all the Farm news for today. We'll see you on Saturday.
God's Blessings on you and yours,
TTFN,
Sam and Billy
