Nearing the end of my green tomatoes
Comments (1)When using Splenda, be sure to taste the brine. Splenda has the unique ability to STRONGLY sweeten a vinegar brine. When I use Splenda for something like B&B pickles and the recipe calls for 3-4 pounds of sugar, I use maybe a half to one cup of Splenda, and its more than enough sweetening power. I don't even have to add sugar....See MoreTrail of Tears Beans
Comments (6)Sunny, Often times the names have a story or very specific reason for having that name.

These black seeds were carried during the infamous winter death march from October 1838 in the Smoky Mountains to March 26, 1839 in Oklahoma, leaving a trail of 4,000 graves, hence the  Trail of Tears. There are also other vegetables known as Trail of Tears for similar reasons, such as "Trail of Tears Corn".

Comments (31)There are a lot of good suggestions above re good to grow varieties. Here are a few I would add. Lyuda's Mom's Red Ukrainian, Druzba, and Burgundy Traveller. Eva Purple Ball is excellent as mentioned above. Re tomatoes growing in the heat, higher temps improve tomato flavor in every way you can imagine. But STRESS reduces flavor much faster. Most complaints about heat should really be talking about stress. In high temps with full sunlight, the plant has maximum photosynthetic ability and produces the highest level of plant sugars and other flavor compounds. If the plant is stressed by lack of water, disease pressure, pests, nematodes, etc. there will be a significant reduction of flavor potential. So my rule of thumb is to keep plants healthy and un-stressed to get the best flavored tomatoes possible. Heat is not a problem for a healthy plant. DarJones...See MoreWhat's for dinner Monday?
Comments (10)Oh I made short ribs yesterday, Pam, hope yours are as good as ours were! They are one of my favorite meals! After I removed the ribs I added in ox tails, a half dozen or so marrow bones and cooked it all very slow. I put it all into my stock pot with bay leaves, onions, celery, garlic and carrots. Cooked it all down, cooled it, defatted it and added mushrooms, maters, green beans, corn and the kitchen sink.....browned some chuck roast and tosed that in too! So we had Veggie Soup!...See More- 10 years ago
