Good morning state I slept to 10 this morning felt good. Better half let birds and dogs out.
None of my tomato are showing color on the vine ? We where so late planting all the rain we had.

Same here. All green tomatoes on big beautiful bushes. And my friend brought me green tomatoes from her garden. Yep. Needed that.

Can make on sick of fried green tomato.
I have most in a white dishpan under a grow light some have turned red.. I guess I am optimist at heart. Try to find positive in all.

I just had a rooster die right in front of me while I was feeding this morning I felt so helpless, he was gaping his mouth and seemed to be choking. No other symptoms at all, healthy 10 month old black copper marans roo. He's been in heavy molt along with the rest of the flock. He is in a bachelor pen with our special needs older roo as his buddy, and he's been a really great, relaxed guy in that job. I'm so sad about i

That’s tragic.

Put them in a paper bag with an apple or two. The ethylene from the apple helps

Okay give that a try thanks room temp?

 

[Hinotori]

Yes. It's a trick that ripens many things. Also the reason you do not keep apples with potatoes as they make them sprout

I've only recently started getting ripening tomatoes, and they're sparse. I have a whole fruit bowl of them in the kitchen in varying degrees of ripeness (I pull them once color has blushed most of the surface) but it's like I can only make 1 meal a week with tomatoes at this rate.

Understand that have two roma plants just starting to build fruit, I wanted to try my own sauce this year ?

I'm going to try that with my friend's tomatoes.
