I always start out well, but by July they usually have won the battle. I'm wondering if I should use a bunch of mulch or something??Susanhttp://www.girlsinwhitedresses.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636380768209162704.post-1681766271294405532009-05-14T11:42:00.000-07:002009-05-14T11:42:00.000-07:00I freeze tomatoes and then put an "eyeballed&...I freeze tomatoes and then put an "eyeballed" amount in things instead of tomato sauce. If you didn't peel them first, just run them under warm water and the peel slips off. (If you did peel them, don't bother next year!) :>)<br /><br />I also fill my crockpot to heaping (no lid) and turn it on high until they melt down then low until enough water evaporates to make tomato sauce. I've been freezing it but I really need to get brave enough to can.<br /><br />I also sub frozen tomatoes for recipes that call for canned tomatoes (stuffed green peppers is a favorite around here). If I have lots of time, I just throw them in and wait for them to melt; otherwise I microwave them. Make sure you use the water that comes off - that's where your flavor is!Lenettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342070002060603966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636380768209162704.post-7482162276304141662009-05-11T07:42:00.000-07:002009-05-11T07:42:00.000-07:00When do you first notice some action in the garden...When do you first notice some action in the garden? I planted mine last week and went to check on it today and I still don't see anything. I'm probably not patient enough! But, I did notice some bean seeds that were laying around and it just makes me nervous that I didn't do a good job in planting. I also noticed some digging going on by my cucumbers. I hope I can replant if something dug those up.Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636380768209162704.post-55510731544487085722009-05-08T17:55:00.000-07:002009-05-08T17:55:00.000-07:00Looks great!

We have a large yard but also a large dog who is determined to do his own landscaping. LOL!!! I'm starting small to see if we can keep him out of the plants.:-)Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129793790973176351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5636380768209162704.post-31221759631997523532009-05-08T17:46:00.000-07:002009-05-08T17:46:00.000-07:00Your garden looks awesome.
