I was offline to go on a three week walkabout. I was exposed to many culinary delights, the most novel of which was the idea of topping
vanilla icecream with basalmic vinegar.
Where did you find that treat? I thought that vinegar on I scream was
a British thing.

Balsamic vinegar is not like other vinegars. It has a quite different flavor profile. I would not have thought of that use, but can
understand it. It makes a good addition to a salad of tomatoes, mozz cheese and basil.

We can and have done that. This year we have not yet gotten to a
store to get some seedlings. We did do Campari tomatoes from seed
(thanks to Drum for the source). They are growing great, perhaps
three foot tall, but no evidence of flowers yet. We are wondering
when and how to prune them so that they get bushy instead of six foot tall.

It took five months for anyone to notice. Thanks. I have a macro
that adds that tag line, but it has no parameter for year so I have to edit
the macro and add the year. Not uncommon for me to forget to do that.

Hi Ruth,
I hope all is going well for you and your family... I've
been trying to catch up here, and I am getting there
(slowly (grin)). Some of you folks like yourself and
Steve, and Dale and Dave may remember Sophie and Indy, my
two dogs...Indy died several years ago, and poor Sophie
(the smaller one) is now suffering from liver and thyroid
failure... we're counting the days for the poor girl and
trying to be optimistic.
(thanks to Drum for the source). They are growing great, perhaps
three foot tall, but no evidence of flowers yet.
If you've had cold snaps like we have, they may get buds
later. Also, see if you can find some plant food
specifically for tomaoes - it does make a difference.
We are wondering

For my gardens, suckers are always important to get rid of because the suckers, which grow in the "V" between the main stem and
the branches, need to be pruned to save energy for main
branches - you'll get more fruit that way as well.

Suckers grow quickly, but if left to grow into side stems, they tend
to be spindly and produce inferior fruit. When they're small (under 2 inches), they can be pinched off, but if they're bigger, pruners are necessary.
Hope this helps :)

The oldest dog in the world is still kicking at age 31. Just a bit
slower than it used to be. And sleeps a lot.

Enjoying the good life, until the very end.

thing about this trip was that we did a shared table for the evening
meal so we never sat twice with the same group. We shared the table

It's hard to lose a pet. We adopted out our cocker spaniel before moving
from AZ to HI; its been 22 years and I still occaisionally look for him
to be underfoot.
Hopefully Sophie will pass easily and you will have
lots of happy memories of her.

That was Dale, to me. He and Gail are in an assisted living community
now and he's trying to grow tomatoes indoors. We gave up on trying to
grow them when we realised we'd be gone during the main harvest time.

I tried the lasagne sheets once when I found whole wheat ones at a
health foods store (don't think it was Whole Foods, think it was while
we were in Savannah). We came to the conclusion that we liked working
with regular lasagne noodles better, but I can see where the sheets
might be better for something like this. Maybe I'll have to give them
another try.
