hi im :frow
i tried a different tomato this year, a paste that R2elk recommended. those are some of the biggest tomatoes i've ever seen, but still waiting for them to ripen, the volunteers have taken over, should have hoed more out but on the whole, happy with the way its going for me

It sounds like you're going to have some canning in your future Sharron :)
 
Good morning everyone and welcome to August!

Good morning to you and sharron.

I can't believe it's August already. It's our daughters birthday on the 10th and it just hadn't occurred to me that it was that close until my Mum asked what was happening.

Everything thinks its spring here too. I've got 2 little peach trees I grew from seed and they are both sprouting leaves already. We were also glad the farmer moved his bulls from where they were right next to our place. They were bellowing at all hours.

Enjoy your day (I'm off to bed soon).

Are the tomatoes good for canning or do you just eat raw? Volunteers are usually the best! We had a little 2 foot square spot that my mom planted tomatoes in one year. That's all it took, we had a volunteer or two every year after that, probably ten years it went as such until we moved away.
