Two! We also ate half a dozen others that I picked three weeks ago before our first freeze and ripened in a paper bag. These are from the &#8220;Husky Cherry Red&#8221; tomato plant from Home Depot that I planted on September 22, 2006 when it was 99F degrees. These cherry tomatoes have a nice tang to them which both of us like. &#8216;Husky Cherry Red&#8217; is classified as a dwarf indeterminate and marketed for people with small gardens or who want to grow tomatoes in a container.<\/p>\n<p>The lettuce is producing wonderfully now, almost 8 inches tall&#8211;enough to make two modest salads a night. The weather forecasters are teasing us with predictions of snow flurries for Christmas Eve but the temperatures look to stay just at freezing, so I&#8217;ll cover everything up and try to pull it through. After the front blows through this weekend it will be sunny and in the 60s again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/photos\/320\/20061221a.jpg\" alt=\"cherry tomatoes\" \/><br \/><i>2006-12-21.
