Most are tired; the heat and lack of rain, most years is oppressive. I like the idea of taking off the month of August and starting again in September. Regarding tomatoes: my granddaddy used to pull up tomato vines (with green tomatoes on the vines) and hang them upside down in the basement. My Mom told me that they usually had fresh tomatoes through Thanksgiving and sometimes Christmas. I have done this and had tomatoes into late fall but never as late as Christmas (I don't have a basement, but use a storage building). I think my granddaddy was a Garden Wizard. Enjoy the day.
