Good morning, Chris we have another great day for growing. I just went out and checked out my plants and they are loving this weather. How is your grow going.

Hey Keith, sorry I missed this . I'm dealing with bugs. This weather has been a nice break,having the grow box under 90 a relief. the bug thing sux, I never have bugs in my winter grows... I think it could also be fruit fly's adding to the problem I've been eating more bananas. I get organic bananas so with the lack of pestasides there full of pests.

I get some fruit fly's from the tomatoes and I hate them little bastards.

My wife just finished making homemade Salsa and it is to die for. Well may be not die but it is very good and will be better tomorrow. I think I will buy a basket of tomatoes for canning this weekend. I was checking out my plants and think they will go to flower this week. The main cola site looks ready to spit out some pistils. Have a good night.

Do you blanch skin off and squeeze seeds out? I want to make some sauce soon and haven't done it from the garden and heard different ways.
Flower power soon man!

No, I have a tomato grinder it separates skins and seeds. It is hand operated and take a little work, but it works great.

Morning Keith, you dealing with a smokey sky out west. anything made with garden fresh tomatoes is great. my friends mother use to make her own "gravy" talk about to die for, I'd give up a few years for a big plate of her spaghetti an meatballs with a side of lasagna

Hi ya Chris it is hazy here overcast here.

 

[Canachris]

The weather has been so nice I forgot it's only half way thru August, 80's and humid I can handle, an all of a sudden it's still dark a 6 in the am. I must be smoking to much

Tomato grinder... Sounds like a girl dancing whilst picking tomatoes, back that thang up

 

[KeithLemon]

My tomato grinder is very old it belonged to my wife's grandmother. It is a hand crank grinder.

My mother had a hand grinder like that too. it attached to the table, she used it to grind up green tomatoes and made, I have no idea how to spell this word an neither does spell check so I'll sound it out pick-a-lilly. the old Yankees didn't waste anything they grew and that was a way to use all the green tomatoes up. it was tasty, more of an acquired taste but as kids we'd all stay out of the house for the day cause the smell was horrible.
