GREEN THUMB SUNDAY Last of the tomatoes

These are the last of our tomatoes. We had a cold snap last weekend, and again today. The weatherman says it will warm up, with highs in the 60's through next week, but I am glad to be done with them. In year's past, I've covered my tomatoes and kept them into October. I am glad we pulled the plants last weekend. I still have pumpkins, beets, parsnips, carrots and summer and winter squash to deal with. Not to mentions that I am really tired of figuring out things to do with tomatoes.
I blogged earlier about which tomatoes I liked and would try again, I have also heard about a yellow cherry tomato called Sun Sugar that is supposed to be wonderful. Has anyone tried this variety? I think I will put it on my list for next year to try out.

It looks like you have had a great crop of tomatoes. My plants didn't do verywell because of the flood in the UK in June, but there is always next year.

Looks like you had a wonderful crop. Will you make something with the green ones?

No luck this year with my tomatoes that where out doors. I will try a mobile green house for next year.

Cheers Mark

Well I know everything has its season but that doesn't stop me from getting sad when the tomatoes are through for the year ...

Thanks for your comments-
Christa - I'll just let the green ones ripen, we had a lot more greener that I just composted.
Mark - let us know the details about the mobile green house, sounds intriguing.
Acey- it is a sad time for me, too. I do wish fall would last longer (and winter last less long!)
Anon- I dunno? I think that's personal taste

Your last crop looks like a good one.
Enjoy.
