You mean you have been approached before to bet on a war but turned it down or you just don't bet on things when you're pretty damn sure about losing a chunk of your Social Security?

calfoxwc Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I could live on BLTs my entire life. The best tomatoes are grown organically, and you have to grow the right types. Some are too non-acidy, most on the market in stores - have a tough skin, etc, to not bruise in shipping, they are stored in a gas to keep them from ripening, then they put in another gas to make them ripen. They taste like red blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They taste like red blah. Best tomatoes I ever had in my life were when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, N.C. and went to a local farmers market in a small town near there. No mushiness, perfectly ripened and so tomatoey (if that's a word) you could just put your nose in the bag and breath in tomato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Best are usually in late June/July, early August (the locally grown). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Early Girls are a long time favorite hybrid that is one of the first to ripen. the sunsugar cherry tomato is a gigantic hit. I like to take those, and others, split em and dehydrate em into "raisins" and eat them during the winter. Same thing with blueberries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's sister had a cabin on a lake in Maine and we were canoeing around the lake picking wild ripe blueberries off vines that came down to the water's edge. Ate about half right there and took the rest back every day for fresh blueberries every meal and fresh wild blueberry pie and cobbler. Damn that was great stuff!

calfoxwc Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 no, our soil isn't as acidic - tried to plant and add acid- didn't work well at all. Neighbor to my brother-in-law 45 min away - he has a large blueberry farm. Gives us a lower price per lb. That is excellent stuff. Very healthy, too. We have about 300 stawberry plants in the upcoming third year. Wanted to sell some of em, but we like them so much - forget that. Have wild blackberries, rasberries, a mulberry tree. Add some blueberries - would make a great jam. The most interesting berry is a tomato ! It's called a husk tomato, and also ground cherry. A crazy tropical fruit/pineapple flavor. I made jam out of those, that rocked. I haven't tried making a pie out of them. It is very sweet - and is a member of the tomatillo family. Love these, too. They make excellent "raisins" dehydrated. https://www.thekitchn.com/5-reasons-youll-want-to-buy-husk-cherries-at-the-farmers-market-tips-from-the-kitchn-205798 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/five-ways-to-eat-ground-cherries-98470003/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandmother used to make jams out of both from their small farm many years ago. Wish I had learned her secrets back then. She would seal each jar with wax on top of the jam before putting on the lid. Her theory was that it preserved the jams for longer than the lid alone. Is that a process you use too?

I know about it - but don't use wax. Found wild grapes out back in our woods - makes some freaking AWESOME grape juice. You have to be certain it's wild grapes, and not a poison look alike. The poison ones all have one half-moon seed in them. Both grow on a vine, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
