We haven't had freezing temperatures yet in the San Joaquin Valley, and today, I picked lemons and about 6 quarts of Roma tomatoes.
I always pick tomatoes at the pink stage, and let them finish ripening indoors. Birds seem to almost always get my bright red tomatoes. I have 4 cats on patrol in the garden to help and they do catch pesky birds, rats and gophers.

Did you know that tomatoes and peppers are perennial plants in warmer climes? I'm sure that here we'll eventually get a freeze, but I'll let them grow until then.

The lemons are Meyer lemons, which are technically sour oranges. I'm going to juice and can this first batch.
