I will plant my third in two weeks in the area where I have my radishes that are finishing up. When my onions are finished in July/August I am going to plant carrots.<br /><br />http://snjgardener.blogspot.com/SNJGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01144836854617566204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859873319068539701.post-65769090958886530932009-06-05T07:49:45.360-04:002009-06-05T07:49:45.360-04:00Freezing whole tomatoes works brilliantly- the ski...Freezing whole tomatoes works brilliantly- the skin indeed does peel off easily and you get a very fresh-tasting fruit for use in sauces. Drawbacks include using up a lot of freezer space and broken toes--- take it from me, do not drop a gallon bag of frozen whole tomatoes on your foot. They're basically billiard balls.<br /><br />I prefer to halve them and roast them awhile, cut side down, on an oiled baking sheet. Don't bother to peel if you don't want, although the skins will come off easily after a little roasting. Pour juices and all into your freezer bags. You can strain out seeds or skins after defrosting and you won't take up as much room in the freezer (or risk foot problems). And roasting even a little concentrates the flavor. Of course you can slow roast to an almost dry tomato if you like and add herbs or what not.CENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048211362201115798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859873319068539701.post-88664198816197349832009-06-05T07:41:02.047-04:002009-06-05T07:41:02.047-04:00Some day I will have a vegetable garden...but I wi...Some day I will have a vegetable garden...but I will need a sunnier garden! gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859873319068539701.post-50823488732756531502009-06-04T23:31:44.280-04:002009-06-04T23:31:44.280-04:00I did a good job with succession planting my lettu...I did a good job with succession planting my lettuce and greens. Now, I am in the process of planting other veggies. I keep getting interrupted in my gardening, but will have the summer off after tomorrow, so hope to keep up better. Your post reminded me I haven't planted eggplant yet.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.com
