I guess when you are awash in tomatoes and peppers my fresh ones will only be a memory and I'll be eyeing photos of yours with envy.

We have a poly tunnel, but it's still going to be at least until late December before I get the first ones coming in.

We rarely get nights that stay above the mid-50F range, even in summer. We had lows of 46F and 47F just a few nights ago and that's also typical in June and even into July. I've found that short season varieties also tend to be tolerant of cool climates so Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-71265583137351546542014-09-15T11:16:15.284-07:002014-09-15T11:16:15.284-07:00You have so many wonderful goodies coming from you...You have so many wonderful goodies coming from your garden - I think I say that every week ;) That sounds like a wonderful way to roast peppers - I often have the issue where by the time the skins are blackened, the flesh is too soft.

They are so good roasted and dried, as well as fresh. But they weren't that productive here so I stopped growing them. They obviously like your climate better, especially if they are serving as cheerleader for the other tomatoes!Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-38725227438964655482014-09-15T09:16:00.437-07:002014-09-15T09:16:00.437-07:00My favorite black tomato used to be Paul Robeson. ...My favorite black tomato used to be Paul Robeson.

Mine is also dying back early, but still producing on newer growth. Delicious tomatoes, though! Do you have any suggestions for a similar tasting tomato with a less anxious disposition?
