Incredibly cold in the SF Bay Area — we are having thick frost daily! — but I still have one garden tomato left on my countertop.  When I was in Binghamton my mother picked the remaining green ones (it was a productive but sloooooow season) and brought them inside to ripen so they would not be subjected to the rainy season or a freeze.  She also picked all the lemons and gave them away at the Albany Senior Center, claiming “they were not doing well and needed to be picked.”  I tell you, you leave for 6 weeks here and find all your lemons gone when you get back.
