Hurricane season sure suck on the East coast since it usually kills a few plants just as they are ready to produce. I'm glad I only lost sunflowers to this one. Never thought about the stress of having animals outside when such a storm arrives either ...glad they made it through.
I too had the lousiest year ever for tomatoes here in SW NB - and Lee finished them off. I don't even have green tomatoes for Chow-Chow, Dammit!! Oh well, let's hope for better next year.
Those tomatoes will ripen! Just have hope. I had to pull 4 bushels of mine early due to blight, but 2 week later and they are all rdy to make sauce. (also Ben with the chainsaw 😍)
There are many uses even for Green tomatoes. Do you like Green Tomato ChowChow? Its an amazing sweet/tart pickle. Have you ever eaten Green Tomato Mincemeat? Its ground up, cooked with assorted candied fruit, raisins & spices, sugar & its AMAZING you add butter at the end to make it rich & wonderful. Bottle it hot or freeze it. Makes amazing pies, tarts, cookies & anything you can dream up. Even put some on top of an apple crumble or Crisp whatever you call it in your house. Sweet, fruit delicious and is the only kind of Mincemeat my daughter likes. I hope you've eaten sweet good homemade Mincemeat growing up because its 1000 times better than the gross bottles of stuff sold in stores. People like our Great Grandmothers couldn't afford to waste food and you can grind the small tomatoes that aren't hardly worth trying to ripen to peel & can. Great use of cherry tomatoes too!!! Both of these perfect recipes I printed in my 2 cookbooks I published "Four Generations For All Generations ". I searched for years & tweeked a little to get an exact replica of my Gram & Mum's amazing meat based Mincemeat. Every recipe has been taste tested & some cooked for unknown numbers of Generations of my Family and friends ❤❤❤
Good job guys! You both work so hard. So sorry to see your tomato plants were so destroyed, Nicole. God bless you.

It was such a brutal year.. We've been dreaming of a greenhouse for a few years and I think this might be our sign to build one.

Green tomatoes = Chow-Chow 🙂
it's generous to call those pants.
I didn't think they were that bad until I put them on 🤣
