Have faith! Glads, dependent on the variety will bloom at different times, so you could easily be due for more blooms. And yes, you could see plenty come and go without them. But I have found that I should wait until the frost (with new glads) to find out their individual characteristics. Second year in a row, like clockwork, the same types bloom before the others even though they were all planted at the same time.

Laura, if you are using the phone app, please switch to your laptop or notebook. Your responses are incomplete and hard to follow........and don't answer any of the questions I posed. If you don't provide us with good information, we can't provide you with good information :-)

Annie, I served it tonight to my parents, DH and kids. Everyone loved it and I can see that I'd better get comfortable making it! I'm a nervous Nellie as I've never canned before but I bought a BWB canning pot, tongs, funnel and jars this past week. I'm a bit confused about the types of tomatoes, but the local farm stand should help me a bit. Did we use tomato paste at Sherry's? I was off at the Amish market buying other goodies when we finished it off.

You may have added too much water, most of the references I have seen say to add no more water than 50% of the volume of seeds + juice. For most tomatoes, the juice you can squeeze out will suffice; I have never had to add water. If the tomato is very dry (I have a few that are) or if the seed quantity is very small, strain the juice from a juicier tomato (to remove the seeds) & add it to the mixture to increase its volume. Also, a week seems like far too much time. The gel will be destroyed by fermentation in 2-3 days, or even as little as 24 hours; the warmer the area, the more rapid the fermentation. If the seeds are not removed promptly after the gel breaks down, they may begin to sprout - I've forgotten a few batches and had this happen (it only took 4 days). Such seed will die quickly once dried, and should be discarded. Examine the seeds under a magnifying glass; you may see a small dead sprout on the pointed end of some of the seeds. It is possible that there are still a few live seeds. You could place a large number on a wet paper towel, and watch closely for germination - then immediately transfer any that sprout to moist seed starter. But if seed is still available, it might be best (and far easier) to start fresh.
