I have ready to put into the ground over 350 tomato plants. I love to eat

them fresh in salads and as sandwiches. I can all of them I can for " instant "

tomato soup -- I just put my hand blender in the jar of tomatoes and blend away

till they are soup. Tomato sauce is another thing I can. That way I have my

own organic tomatoes -- I allow no pesticides or chemical fertilizers here at

all. I even go out and stomp the slugs that threaten my plants rather than

use poisons that might harm my soil, plants or animals. I believe that if we

take care of our Earth it will take care of us.

I can what I can -- in other words -- what the deer and rabbits leave me.

Last summer the deer ate 360+ tomato plants, 72 pepper plants, 12 okra plants,

12 ground cherry plants right down to the nubs. Mind you out of all that I got

one small cherry tomato. That was the whole harvest for me. Tonight I saw 4

young bucks out in the field eating grass. In spring the does and fawns come

thru and munch down whatever they can. I need a tall fence about 1980 feet

of it would be good.

 

Lisa Marie <-- with dozens of empty jars :-(

Come to the wet side of Washington state in the shadow of Mt St Helens.

Abundant fog, Plenty of rain, not always enough sun and where you rust instead

of

tan. And please be careful when walking and don't slip on a slug.

 

Lisa Marie <-- I love where I live and hope to live here till I die an old

old old wrinkled up prune of a woman.

Thank you, this is very interesting since my Mom has fibromyalgia and was told

to avoid the nightshade group. I had severe colitis growing up and the doctors

put me on mega doses of Donnatal (belladonna) and I would feel like I was

walking on a cloud, eyes out of focus, dry mouth, pupils dialated, etc. I

finally ended up in the emergency room on IV's to clear my bloodstream. Know

what? That pill never did anything for the colitis attacks either. most of

that was from milk allergy and yet they would push large does of dairy on me and

I got worse and worse until the allergist ran the patch test on my back and

discovered my problem.

Do you feel any effects from tomatoes? I love them also but they have a little

too much acid for me to eat one a day....Donna

You can? I'm in the city and I have never ever known anyone that cans veggies.

That is wonderful. I don't even know anyone that jars except my Gran. She

would make me jars of guava jam from from her guava's I picked in the backyard.

Now I never even see guava's in the market. Do you pickle vegies and jar

them?.........D

I wanna go wherever you are., what area are you in? ....................in spite

of the wildlife eating your veggies that must be very serene and peaceful

enjoying the does, fawns, etc.

This is very interesting to me since I just started an elimination diet

yesterday. I'm hoping to find out if foods like diary, wheat, corn and

some veggies (nightshade)effect me in a negative way. I'll let you know how

it goes. I think it's correct in assuming " you are what you eat " , which

even goes along with our topic on poverty, wealth and how healthy we eat.

Good topic.
