Very Cool. Thanks for posting that.

Making this today. It was a favorite that my Aunt made and we all looked forward to. We call it Chili Sauce but Hot pepper relish would fit also. Makes the house smell good too.

4 stalks celery

10 large sweet peppers

18 hot peppers

6 large onions

5 qts peeled tomatos

Put Above thru grinder/food processer

5 tbs salt

1 1/2 cup sugar

2tsp cinnamon

1tsp nutmeg

2tbsp Pickling Spice (put in cheesecloth)

3 1/4 cup white vinegar

Combine all and boil till thick

put in sterilized jars and seal.

Just picked my second one of the year and no blight so far.  

Dodge,,mine looked nice like that too,but was rotten inside.

 

Late blight won't overwinter in the ground. It will overwinter only in organic material. The most likely way for it to overwinter is in potatoes. If you properly disposed of your diseased plants and tomatoes it should be safe to plant again the next year.

I planted my Tomatos in an area that was not planted in the past hoping to prevent any carryover of Blight,Also bought from a local grower and not chain store plants. From what I now understand is that the Blight can be transfered from garden to garden by birds, rabbits, or even walking into someone elses garden that is infected.

So I am assuming that from your reply junk the blight is in this area, correct. I pulled all of my plants in early August last year also but I also

pulled the plastic then too. I am hoping that the spray I got at a local feed store will help block the blight from my garden this year. I dont

have any red tomatoes yet but lots of zucchini if you want some pm me Big TO. My peppers are also loaded but my cauliflower and brocolli

dont even have a hint of anything on them yet. The plants are huge.

That I am sure of,just had an old friend look at mine and he confirmed it.

Im thinking its not so good again. My plants have black areas on the leaves. I picked a very nice looking red one a few days ago but it was all rotten inside. I also didnt get any Zuchinni, lots of flowers but then they just died off.

Starflower it is . Thanks all .

Thanks for the site Nan. But still cant find it. I keep looking.

I cant find any info on this wildflower I found near Parker Dam . Very small , flower is maybe 1/2" across with plant standing only maybe 6" high.

go to a farm and get cow manure,mix it with some dirt and you have the best potting soil around.

I also mixed in some Hay with the soil. The upside down tomatos in a 5 gal bucket tend to dry out quickly and the Hay helps hold in moisture.

Really cool . Mamies Store on the left, Antique shop on the right.  Thanks ,good pic.

They climb trees also.

Thats Neat, I have to show my Mom that. She worked at Deposit Bank.

I put d-con out one year only to find months later they were storing it in an old helmet I had in my garage. so much for that idea.

My dad has a buddy that has quite a bit, Ill check with him today and let you know.

My mother has them ,Pretty but very delicate. Hers are orange.

To get one of my favorite smells in my house I simmer some pickling spice.

The only way Ive found to keep deer out of the garden is to put them in my Crockpot.

looks like part of a fan for an old coal mine.

                     CAMP BREAD

1 cup flour

1/2 cup water

fat (for frying)

(1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder)*

(1/2 teaspoon salt)*

Mix water, flour, baking powder and salt together. Stir and kneed to form a dough free from lumps. Turn onto a lightly floured board and pat into a rough square about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 2 inch squares.

Melt fat (shortening, bacon fat, beef tallow, etc.) in a heavy skillet or Dutch oven. Be sure to use enough fat to give the bottom of the skillet a good coating. When a drop of water sizzles in the pan, place the dough squares into the fat. Cook the squares at a medium heat until lightly browned. Then turn over and cook the other side. Serve at once.
