I will definitely try those candied tomatoes.

I've read it's recommended to completely top chives a few times a season. I know they get tougher the longer they grow. Mine have been in the ground for 4 years now and they've responded well to topping.

But since your's are getting established this summer I think it would be better to continue just clipping them as you need them so the root systems can get stronger. Then start topping them next year.

I like using the fresh blossoms in salads, but the blossom stems (scapes?) can be tough and woody.

Hey good morning I miss not having the garden.
Thank my lucky stars I can got to Jeremey's produce.
Richard is doing pretty good this morning.
Leg looks lots better having a night to air.
He slept better than in a few weeks having all the morphine yesterday.

Well, I cut all the blossoms off. lol Thought it would be better for the plants if I did that, so now no blossoms to try. But I will next time.

I must have missed what happened to his leg. Poor guy. One thing after another.

He had a low blood sugar he turned around in bed hit the headboard with his legs hard enough to make sore's on his calves.
Everyone wanted to bandage it they only made it worse.
No one would listen to me.

Hope the wounds are healed up quickly!!
