Sort of garden report: I harvested the green tomatoes and ate the final red one Nov. 10. It was slightly shriveled but real.
The parsley is still pickable. It is in a pot right next to the house so captures some warmth from the south facing wall. The cactus has buds, just in time to bloom for Thanksgiving.
