Just had a Tomato Samich!

10 years ago

Hadn't had one in awhile, so good. I might have a cucumber sandwich tomorrow. I must be reverting back to my childhood, last week I fried up some baloney and made one, the only way I like baloney. Always with a slice of American cheese (the fake cheese) and mayo and salt and pepper. But I didn't have it on Wonder bread, I don't ever have that in the house. I always make a slash from the outside toward the center of the baloney to keep that big bulge from forming, makes it look like Pac-Man, so I call it a Pac-Man sandwich.

Who in the north had planted their tomatoes and peppers?
Q

That was for peppers. Peppers don't like temps in the 40's or below forget it. In October where I'm at they can tolerate it but not in the spring. Tomatoes are more hardy but they like the warm weather too. Why they absolutely loved my low(8 foot peak) greenhouse last year where temps during the day went over 120 degrees(gauge only went to 120). I had to drive out the heat during the day with the hose. If you're planting Bonnie types they've been hardened off considerably. However they can still get stunted. As mentioned soil type matters and location, elevation etc. I'm not going to torture my plants because they're better off under warm lights. THere's plenty of time for outdoors. Btw that mulch will soak up your nitrogen supply.

I just had my fence blow down on top of my garden!
Q
Comments (11)
Hi all, Thanks for the kind wishes. The fence didn't really damage too many plants, but it did beat up one of my two yellow squash plants. I think it will recover. It also severed a heavily fruit laden branch of my garden huckleberry bush. That's a bit disappointing and I felt really sad cutting it off, but it would have died anyway. Everything else is, I think, okay. The repairman came out to fix the fence today and said, "Well, I can fix your fence, but I don't know if I can do it without hurting your garden. You got a nice garden back here." But, luckily, he managed to do it. So, after the ground dries out from the 1.93" we got yesterday, I'll be able to pick more up a bit more and see if things are really as good as I hope. I think you're right Diane! Oklahoma does bring out Mother Nature's inner drama queen! Kelly

just cut a tomato - seeds sprouting inside tomato!!!

When I was researching to save tomato seeds, I read that the fermentation process that "eats" the gelatinous sac is also one of God's ways of protecting the seeds--the fungus that eats the gel actually helps stave off some diseases for the eventual plant. I have had the problem of saving tomato seeds and some of them have sprouted before the gel sacs were gone from others--you can't save sprouted seeds for later sowing, but could sow them if they've sprouted. I won't save the other seeds that are still in their gel sac though, because there's the possibility that the seeds may have whatever possible disease, and I would think that would go ditto for "in-the-tomato-fermented-seeds." Better safe than sorry, and you never know if the sprouted seeds carry a disease that can be transferred to other neighboring plants, or even the soil and subsequent years. Tomatoes growing out of tomatoes is pretty cool, though!

I planted Tomato seedlings and we had a frost
Q

I think you will have to replace them. Tomatoes are tropical plants and cannot stand frost. But IF you really want to try and save the ones you have, see what wilts the next couple days and snip that off. You may get regrowth from the remaining plant. But I'd go with new ones. Sometimes cold stunts tomatoes the whole season.

Poor man's eggs benedict....or what you do when you haven't any ham in the house. Don't forget the hollandaise! Make mock hollandaise by stirring a little dijon and some lemon juice into mayonaise!
Toasted English muffin if you have one...or a hamburger bun will do, fried baloney cup, poached egg drizzled with that lemoney, mustardy mayo!

Always with a piece of American cheese (the fake cheese).....

Now, hold on: if you're in Europe etc., that's Imported cheese. And if you could find 'Wonder Bread' that would be unique authentic 'marican food.

We had BLTs twice last week, several big salads loaded with tomatoes, and the last big bunch went into a big pot of spaghetti sauce that husband has been eating since Friday. That man loves his spaghetti!

My DH puts ketchup on BLT's. I tried it - pretty good but I don't need the extra calories.

Had an egg sandwich Saturday with fresh tomato. Thought I'd change up the BLT. It's almost time to say good bye to home grown.

I had grilled cheese with bacon and tomato on it today. Of course use home grown tomatoes. I have BLT's often during summer. Annie, you are the only other person that I have heard of that called sandwiches, sangwich! My late Mother in law called them that. No one else ever did.
