What did you do in the garden today?

I am trying my hand at making Pico De Gallo. I’m wondering if you really have to peel the tomatoes or is it okay to leave the skins on? It’s such a chore to skin all the smallish Romas I have.

you eat it, you make it as you wish. if someone complains let him/her peel tomatoes next time. life should be simple.

fahrenheit, not celsius.

Wow, way too cold in my opinion. But I'm not sure how much is that... about 10? If that's the day temperature, I bet the night gets to under 5.
Our farm grows tomatoes, and we grow them at over 40 Celsius midday. I guess these are a different kind of tomatoes.

I've made it several times I don't remember ever pealing the tomatoes for fresh salsa.

My pico doesn't have green tomatoes in it.

I have a gazillion small tomatoes... About walnut sized. I don't know what to do with them.... Suggestions?

I don't eat enough salad to use them up.

Wrap with 1/2 slice bacon. Use toothpick to attach. Roast them in oven. Great!

I'm many many pages behind, no time to catch up. Hope everybody is doing well!

On Saturday we completely weeded the garden, I replanted in spots that got washed out and didn't germinate, and the chickens got to enjoy some amaranth and grass. Yesterday I bought 4 Mexican Heather plants. I told DH that it must be a good buy when I have to check the plants for bees before I put them in my car, lol.

You could rough cut them a couple times and can them as crushed tomatoes.

What temperature and for how long?

Don't you need to blanche them first? Seems like it'd be a pain to peel them when they are so small
