I think it will make a great BLT........Looks like some sort of heirloom. Too brite red for a brandywine though. Would make a geat BLT tough!

Biggest mater I've ever grown.....
Dave
The mater was great..... Not too many but very good...
++++++++++
Trying to close down the garden....
We pick 24 ears/day to cut the corn from and freeze on baking sheets....
Vac pack and throw in the freezer......
Fresno Chili's.... Because Rachel Ray uses them....
...
Bought some in the store .... let 2 sit on the counter to ripen and
they germinated..... cool.....
Texas A & M Jalapenos.... Al, TennSmoker sent me seeds....
The small ones are from plants that the wind blew over and broke the stems....
Texans may think they are mild but I don't.... I must be a woos or something....
to me they are like Jalps for heat......
Bride says, "We don't need to grow chilis next year"....
She plans on chopping them in the food processor to small pieces, roll in plastic and freeze....
That's OK..... Now my earth boxes will be freed up for something else.....
... I like the EB's.... Stuff grew very well....
Never ran out of water with my watering system.... Cool tools.......

I am starting to "clean out the garden" later this afternoon after the sun changes directions. I need to "grind" my cayennes and put them up too.
Next...apple butter time for me.
Kat
Next...apple butter time for me.
Kat
Hey..... I saw you had the Ball Canning Bible or what ever it is.... picked up one yesterday... what a great book.... all kinds of ideas for preserving foods.... Pear butter..... I always have pears to 86.... whuda thunk it..... Bride's gonna FPer all those peps fort the freezer....
Hey Disco...... was pretty good.... not enough cukes though.... maybe on 15 or so on 3 plants..... cukes and onions for dinner were not quite enough for me and there weren't any for the neighbor.... I may be in trouble..... but I did call him today about sweet corn..... so I may be saved.....
Dave
Bride canned the Fresno Chilis... Vinegar, distilled water (5:1), salt and a dab of sugar... water bath at (180-185) for 10 minutes..... Never done them before.... We'll see if they come out crispy or mushy.... Hope they come out like Mt. Olive peps.... I doubt it though .... no pickle crisp (calcium chloride) was added..... Keeping the water bath between 180-185 is supposed to keep the crispness in.....
Any suggestion on canning peps would be appreciated...... Dave
The Jalapeno peps were froze whole and vac packed... stems, seeds and all.... we'll see about those later in the winter.....

Shame they don't ever stay so pretty and clean, that fresh turned earth smell rates up there with the TBS, freshly cut grass, and those special spring showers that clean the air. Dang starting to sound like my Pop now.

Looks really nice Dave. You ever use black plastic visquine over the winter to keep the grass and weeds out? We would always cover our strawberries, then punch holes to plant them. Its great for gound heat, wasn't unusual to get some strawberries before Valentines. When we pulled the plastic was surprizing how little the grass and weeds had grown. I realize different areas are diffrent gardeners.
I' with you. There is nothing quite like seeing the newly turned dirt just waiting for next spring.

I'm gonna put about 6" alfalfa chopped up on the garlic etc for a mulch this winter..... the rest lays as is.... This sandy soil don't hold water... I water daily in the summer... plastic would retard the water... even drip irrigation doesn't work all that well.... this year I drip irrigated maters, cukes and zukes... 6-8 gallons per day per plant... that barely kept them alive... The earth boxes only used 1.5 gallons/day..... they are a good deal...Shame they don't ever stay so pretty and clean, that fresh turned earth smell rates up there with the TBS, freshly cut grass, and those special spring showers that clean the air.
