Here are the last of the green tomatoes I'll be picking this season. I finally pulled up the struggling tomato plants before the frosts come. We've been lucky this year with still no hard frost up here on our hill. Those in the valley below us had a pretty good clip and they are just a few hundred feet from us but elevation makes all the difference. That cold air sinks. The basil and pineapple sage are still blooming and providing some food for butterflies and bees and we've even seen more honey bees.
In other news my
oval woven bowl developed a hairline crack right in the middle bottom of the bowl. I have patched it several times with some slip but the crack keeps reappearing. This last time I used vinegar slip which seems to have helped better than the other applications of slip. Boy you can really see how I slathered on the slip in this close up taken with my new camera. Ha.
Any thoughts on how to save this bowl. One of the feet is directly under this section. After the glaze fire the glaze may seal the crack but I don't want it to open even further so would love to correct this crack before the bisque. What do you think?
In other news my blog isn't updating for more than eight hours after I post. By updating I mean it isn't picked up by the search engines nor does it show up on my blog roll or other's blogger's blog rolls? Any ideas about that? We'll see what happens with this post this morning. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
