Emerson Seniors Corner
By Cheryl Wiechern
We had a near frost this past week, but it didn't freeze in my back yard. My tomatoes and the hot pepper plants are still alive. There is no forecast for frost in the near future, so I will see how long I have fresh tomatoes. They are still on the vine and ripening, just a little more slowly. I heard the radio say it was just over 11 hours of sunlight for the day, so that is understandable.
