Normally we'd be getting ready for our first tomato harvest and salsa session right about now. This year, however, we probably won't even have a harvest. What few tomatoes there are just turn orange and fall off the leafless vines...or rot in place. Not Good.
Here's our current crop.
This is quite a blow to our salsa stash. It's going to be a long wait until next summer to see how the 2012 crop comes in. We're already working up a strategy to make sure we're back in the salsa business next summer. Can I really survive football season without jar after jar of Karen's Side Street Salsa? This will be a true test of character and demands development of strict salsa management program encompassing the remaining jars of salsa from 2010.
Just as a contrast, here's what that section of our garden typically looks like:
Bummer, dude...

Definitely a bummer!!!! Nothing is the same as homemade! Our garden has not done very well either! Hopefully next year you will have a bumper crop! We always enjoy your newsletters and the blog! Always praying for you! Jana (for all the Huntsingers!)
We are so sorry! We feel your loss! Love Dad
