Tomato Plants in Autumn

      Nothing sadder than tomato plants in Autumn, even on a warm sunny day. Our garden this year had plenty of cherry tomatoes but the other, larger varieties were less productive. The herbs and flowers as usual were the most spectacular. The mulberry trees even with a pruning gave the birds and people walking by a consistent snack for the better part of three weeks.

     Now I have to compost the dying plants and turn over the soil. These jobs I like and they take my mind off the knuckleheads not wearing masks in my borough of NYC. A second wave of infections is coming and we are prepared to stay inside until Spring. Then I'll be able to plant some tomatoes and the whole process will begin again.
