Storm Loss

[plumtreeblossom]

Yesterday a strong and violent storm knocked my largest beefsteak tomato off the plant before it was ripe. I came home from work to find every plant disturbed, and empty pots thrown about the balcony by the wind gusts. The poor pepper plants were nearly killed, as well. We don't often get dramatic weather around here, but when we do, it always catches me off-guard. I'm so sad about this tomato. It was huge and would have gotten huger. Oh well, no Topsfield Fair ribbons for me this year, I guess.



I've never tasted fried green tomatoes before. Worth it?
