January Building A Home Thread
Comments (223)The tile guys started out strong and I was happy bought them energy drinks , Gatorade, sodas I filled up my fridge and said they are welcome to it. Now they are leaving their spaghetti in my bathroom food everywhere I had enough my husband told them that he is so disappointed in the way they are treating our house, he apologized but it has been going on for the last week and they grouted the drain we ended up scraping the grout out and cleaning it. They promised to be done on Sunday. I am putting up signs no smoking no food or drinks in the house....See MoreVeggie Tales - January 2023
Comments (52)OK, so here is my 2023 tomato list. To answer Cindy's question, we get Black Krim and Cherokee Purple first and they taste best, then later we get Chocolate Stripes and they taste best. Last year Vinson Watts held on very late and then it tasted best. And we eat all of the rest of them whenever. After trying many others we only grow Sungold and Chocolate Cherry small ones and they are abundant. The 5 experimental ones at the bottom came from Tomato Jim Wyant this year...it was $17 but we can afford it if we cut back on something. A couple of those are supposed to be very early which I hope is good for our cool climate. We are about half way through last year's tomato sauce so should make it. This year I'm going to can some crushed tomatoes because they are so good in pasta sauce....See MoreWhat are you reading? January 2023 Edition
Comments (152)I finished All the Broken Places by John Boyne. He is one of my favorite authors but this one was a miss for me. It was very readable in that I buzzed through it quickly. Unfortunately I had to suspend disbelief time after time. It also lacked the character development and brilliant storytelling I have loved in his previous novels. It had some interesting themes about grief, complicity, redemption but I did not find them to be adequately addressed. I haven't started a new "physical" book yet, but today while on a short road trip, I started listening to The Forever Witness by Edward Humes. It's nonfiction, about how a 30 year old cold case about two young Canadians murdered in Wash State is one of the first (or maybe the first case ever?) solved using DNA/geneology back when 23&Me, etc first came onto the market. It's quite interesting! I didn't want to arrive home as I was engrossed in the story and still only halfway through....See MoreLast week of January 2023
Comments (21)Seed saving tomatoes in my experience. I have fermented in water to remove gelatin. I have rinsed and dried with gelatin. I have frozen. I have gathered from dried tomatoes on the vine months after harvest. I honestly can’t say there is much difference in sprouting times. I have also taken seed directly from harvest and planted just as you suggested for immediate regrowing for fall. I try to always pick the best beautiful fruits. It doesn’t always happen. Especially with ones dried on the vine. That’s when I have moment and say oh crud I forgot to save seed from that important plant. I like to experiment and usually with tomato seeds it always works out. I may not get the best flavor for fresh eating but that’s okay because I don’t eat them. When they cross sometimes I just get tomatoes which is fine for the dehydrator....See Morecwcf185
