Tuesday already!!! At this rate this week will be history in no time. The only bad part is that it's back to work....
Carol - I've been meaning to ask you how your tomatoes are doing. I don't remember exactly but I think I got mine in a couple of weeks later (maybe it was earlier) than you for some reason related to weather I think. Maybe you remember. I sure don't. I just know we were staggered one way or the other this year. Anyway, my vines are loaded and I've been picking 'em for a couple of weeks. I really limed the ground heavily this year and I don't have any blossom end rot. The tomato size is down I think but that's okay as long as they taste good. I love "fresh" tomatoes right off the vine.
Much cooler and almost no humidity today, and I had to come back to work.
Mr. Ed, I put my tomatoes in before you did by about 2 weeks. Yes, it was due to weather that you waited.
Our slicers (2 separate plants) weren't very good. The tomatoes looked like they'd been through a nuclear blast, all misshapen. Also the raccoons did a number on them. The neighbors had better luck so they told Joe if he wanted some to just pick from theirs. As it happened Joe decided he would not eat the BLT's this year. He changed his diet last year and has lost 34 pounds and is now at 154 so he doesn't eat bacon (among many other things he (we) ate). I didn't need to lose weight, I'm happy and healthy where I am. Next year I won't bother with the slicing variety and will just put in 2 cherry plants. (I don't like fresh tomatoes).
Mariposa - No "wet tshirt" contest in the lunch room? Enjoy the good weather no matter where it falls.
Carol - I never would have connected raccoons with tomatoes.
My tomatoes are all small.. two inches or less with most of them about an inch-and-a-half. The summer has just been too strange for them I guess. But, that size is great for just putting salt on 'em for eating right out of the garden.
BTW - How was your trip to the island? I know some people who farm a LOT of acreage out there but they don't sell from the farm.
We bought peaches, nectarines, green beans and plums at the Pumpkin Patch.
It's such a pretty, calm drive around the island. Love looking at farms and acreage as long as I don't have to work it.
I used to go out there when I was still canning and I picked my tomatoes right from the field. They were HUGE. Good soil!!
Carol - I understand the big harvest going on now is all the different varieties of squash.
Squash, another veggie I don't eat.
One year we drove to Canby and saw the giant pumpkin contest. I don't know how they transported some of them!! Guess with a sling and crane!
Carol - I only eat Acorn or Hubbards or ones you can bake with a brown sugar & butter filled center. Anything that looks like a Zuchinni in disquise never makes it to my plate. I hate those slimy cooked vegetable wannabe substitutions. YUK! It's sure a good thing I never say what I really feel.
Good thing you have a garden for the fresh stuff. I wish I had room to grow peas...those I will eat fresh and the pods too. I also love raw carrots and corn on the cob but corn doesn't always love me back so I have to go easy on it or eat creamed style.
Hey, if we can't say what we really feel here, we are in trouble...besides there is not much "Big Brother" doesn't know about us.
Carol - I should have used my "facetious" font. I'm always getting in trouble with the PC police for calling a spade a spade. And, a zuk will never be anything but a "zuk". I'm at that point of my life where I can describe myself as a "curmudgeon" and half the population doesn't know that simply means "cranky old man!" And, if "Big Brother" can't handle the truth, he can get the hell out of my garbage. I just try to get along with the babies. But, I seem to scare the hell out of them for some reason. Maybe it's because I know why animals, in the wild, eat their young (and it isn't because they taste good).
That was weird. It wouldn't let me use the right and left < brackets to enclose facetious. It just took the word completely out. Damn PC police.
Do you ever get the feeling "someone" is WATCHING? OMA!!! It's BIG BROTHER!!
We have been curmudgeons for awhile now...I like it! I wish I had a small version of a reader board on top of the vehicle I'm driving. I could type in my remarks about the A.H.'s in traffic, etc. It might be fun for about 10 minutes, then I'd probably be shot!!! Such a 'nice' world we live in.
Carol - The key to gunfire survival is the accuracy of your "return" fire. The Carribe is not always a "friendly" place.
