Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 tomatoes would be fine to eat heartwerk Jul 22, 2008 10:50 PM Tomatoes Hi Peter,Fraggle, YarrowMy tomato plant seems to be okay. There were a couple of yellow leaves at the bottom - so I've fed them again. The tops seem firm now, so hopefully the plant is recovering. Presumably the tomatoes will be okay to eat if they look normal?Jo With the first link, the chain is forged.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Get a variety of seed that matures early. I grow mine in a greenhouse, but I don't think that makes any difference. I plant my seeds in the house the first of March and move them outside in May. I have fresh ripe tomatoes by the first of July, but they are small early tomatoes. They are delisious, but it takes two to make up for one large one. That is OK with me, though, as they are prolific. The Larger ones are just starting to ripen now.

We have been trying different ways to grow them so that we get some in the summer and have had no success yet. When fall and winter come around, we have an abundance, but I would like to have some in the summer. What is the best way to grow them? I know this is late, but we can try next year... We live in the desert, so imagine temps to be 100+. Very, very dry. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 A pinch or two of baking soda works well too.? I've done this for years. I always add a little sugar to my spaghetti sauce, it cuts down on the acid. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I love tomatoes fresh from the garden in the summer and we eat a lot of them. I can handle them fine that way, but always have trouble with them cooked. I like them cooked but just have trouble with them. Tonight we had some Amy's organic tomato soup, and I took some baking soda afterwards. I love pizza without the tomato sauce. Jerri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 This is my favourite time of year. I love my tomatoes but I really love roasted tomatoes. I bought a small basket of Romas (about 24) and for lunch I cut them in half and put them into a large roasting pan. I mixed the following 1/3 cup of oil (could be less) 1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar 2 tsp Dijon mustard 1/2 tsp sugar and poured it over the tomatoes. I stirred the tomatoes to make sure they were all coated with the dressing and then turned them all skin side up in a single layer. I sprinkled chopped fresh basil over them. I wrapped a head of garlic in foil and placed that in the pan with the tomatoes. I roasted them at 425 for about 45 minutes until the skin was brown and wrinkly. I set them aside while I cooked up some pasta - rotini or bow ties work well. I didn't measure it but enough for 4 servings as a main course. when the pasta was cooked, I squeezed the roasted garlic over it and mixed it very well so that the pasta was coated with the garlic. I then added the pasta to the roasting pan and mixed everything well. I loosened up any bits that were adhered to the bottom of the pan. We had it hot for lunch but it is also good cold or at least I think it's great cold. My husband often sprinkles parmesan cheese on his but today he decided that it didn't need it. Salt and pepper can be added to taste My kind of yummy Audrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
