The wall behind is south facing so when the sun does occasionally shine it creates a "micro climate" and stays warm well into the night.

You use solid green (unripe) toms and slice about 1/4 inch thick, bread with egg and then flour and cornmeal mix, with salt and pepper of course, then just fry in vegetable oil. Great served with goat cheese and balsamic vinegar reduction! A traditional southern speciality, that I have twisted just a little!!

Well let me know how you like them, they are very popular in the southern US, but most Americans haven't ever tried them either!
