oh oh.... bad tomatoes

15 years ago

Looks like a round of food poisoning going on. Several states affected so it appears widespread. Wash and cook them for awhile.

How frightening! Thanks for passing that along. I rarely buy grocery store tomatoes (no taste.) I can't wait until I have homegrown tomatoes again (of course that means I need to finish planting them. I'm so behind!)

I rooted my Australis cutting in water and it did just fine. (I got this cutting last summer in a trade) This spring it growing really well:-) Maybe you are like me, but I almost prefer to start things from cuttings. (although I wouldn't say no to a whole plant!!) I almost feel like I have cheated or something, if I buy anything bigger than a 4 inch pot! Good luck, Diane

Kenny, somewhere on here I believe I posted how an early spring day went from 27F outdoors in the morning to 45F in the afternoon . . . Nothing remarkable about that, especially here where clouds usually interfere with further warming at that time of year - somewhat, unlike Colorado. However, the clouds were not in the sky that afternoon. Instead, it was very clear - with sustained wind above 20mph! The result was I was dancing all afternoon to keep the temperature down inside the greenhouse! With an exhaust fan and a vent open, it still reached 82F! This is where even automatic systems would have limited value. I mean, I didn't want 40 degree wind BLASTing thru the greenhouse on top of the plants! Keep it "buttoned up" and the interior would quickly soar above 100F! I could have the same problem on a clear, still day with temperatures in the 20's. Fully automated systems would go crazy unless they were carefully adjusted and absolutely could NOT be trusted with these kinds of conditions. I know - "wet foliage = bad" but "roasting = worse." If nothing else can be done, wet down everything! Temperature 95F, interior soaked . . . it will be okay. Can't let it happen when the temperature is 45F outside. I mean, full ventilation is required so that the plants dry by sundown. Steve

Yes...it is sometimes painful to see what some people can do to nicely designed and beautiful work. This reminds me of an old Garrison Keillor comment about church building trustees..."It is astounding the kind of damage that can be done by men in three-piece suits." We've all seen it, haven't we?

chase, I ate that exact dish for dinner last week, when DH was out of town, except I had a blob of yellow mustard to dip my weiner pieces in. I sat down in front of the tv with my bowl; quick and easy dinner.

Thanks Jessy! It's nice to be around again. This spring was a little crazier (and not in a good way) than I wanted. Below is the short & sweet as to how spring has been.

To stay on topic, I just emailed this link to a bunch of friends and family members. I hate that this stuff keeps happening. I had heard earlier in the spring there was another scare with salmonella and cantaloupes.

Great, I'm in Texas this week and I just brought home some fresh tomatoes from the grocery store. Guess we won't be having them on a salad or sandwich!

Boo, I'm glad to see you back too. I read your post on the other thread, and I'm so glad your Mom is doing better.

Welcome back. You think I should send a jar of Habanero Gold to Jimster?

This just conjurs up images of people in the fields picking veggies and not having anywhere to "do" their bathroom business (or not wanting to interrupt the picking because it will affect the money that is earned for the day), so it gets done in the fields! Equally as gross is thinking of people doing their business and not washing their hands.

Ewwww, ick. Didn't we have something like this with spinach a while back?

Annie, you might make Elery jealous! I was so happy to read about you two.

To stay on topic, I did email the article to lots of friends & family last night.

Sooz, I was reading your post while eating dinner.
:-p
