Oooooo! 350 oven? I am making those for sure!Picked some tomatoes and used some with dinner. Bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes! They were good! Even the kid liked them!
I love thyme, I use it in soups and sausage rolls and more that I can't think of just now. Mmm time to make sausage rolls again. I can eat those till I fall over. Anyway, thyme is so pretty once it blooms. It's one of those plants that even if I never used it for anything I'd want it near a path way so it gets bruised and gives off scent.The thyme might not make it. I like the way it looks but it's not something I use so I'll try but it won't break my heart if it doesn't make it.
Thanks, that is a great tip!If you want your tomatoes to ripen faster once you bring them inside, cover them up. I put them on a large cotton dishtowels and put a couple more on top and then top that with a dark old (clean) beachtowel or blanket. The gasses given off in the ripening process, speed up the process in other tomatoes.
It's like a freshly sharpened knife, a pleasure to use.Man I do love a fresh chain when you have a good sized job to do.
Same here, and I'm planting the ones in the raised beds further apart so I can find all the ripe tomatoes.Next year, I am definitely going to pinch off all the suckers off my tomato plants (and keep them much shorter).
I have terrible eyesight even with glasses on and I think that's part of my problem. Anyone using a overhead trellis for green beans? Does that work? Can you find the freaking beans?I'm also not sure I'll bother with the green beans either, I'm not good at picking them & seem to find most when they're too giant to eat.
I stay mostly in this thread and one other that used to be a coop building thread but's now a chit chat thread.I never venture out of this thread so I'll never see it, lol. Unless someone links it. *hinthint*

@penny1960, you have a lovely house and property! It's nice to see folks yards beyond just the garden, seems more neighborly.

Good afternoon gardeners, the watering and critter care is done for the day. When I was scooping the poop from the poop boards this morning, Natasha, one of the speckled sussex was checking one of the upper nest boxes for size. No eggs then cuz I check the nest boxes first thing when I go in. But some time later, I think she snuck in, laid her egg and got out again, no singing. It would have been the first egg from whomever and the sneaky laying makes sense for Natasha. She's smart as a whip but bottom of the pecking order and knows how to stay out of trouble. She'd be smart enough get in, drop and egg and get out quietly so as not to get any attention. I'll find out sooner or later.
Not the best picture but she and her sister are beautiful.
Natasha and Cleo.

So anyway, I now have 2 layers.
