Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 Hi Fraggle No, I don't really plan. Because I shop for vegetables I have a vague idea that I need to arange meals to use up all the leeks, or all the peppers etc. I have green beans, red and yellow peppers and broccoli to use up this weekend, but I don't like to spend too much time cooking so will probably do a stirfry one day, and a risotto the other.

I planted around 40 varieties in the spring, and though I've been getting tomatoes since May, last week they all started getting ripe at once. I'm picking at least 4-6 pounds every other day...it was over 8 pounds on Sunday! I'm planning to go to a potluck, and guess what I'll bring? Heirloom tomato salad, with red, orange, black, green, yellow and purple tomatoes. Quote

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 I'm too spontaneous for that. There are some things I buy regularly: Silk strawberry soy yogurt, plum tomatoes, bags of frozen veggies, and fresh ones from the farmer's markets in town. Often times I eat according to mood and sometimes I just cave and eat out at a Japanese restauarant or something.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 LOL - I think it's been a good year for tomatoes! I guess you can make up sauces (bolognese) etc. and freeze for use later on.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 I had two plants and had all the tomatoes I could use, so I processed them and froze them. My plants looked like they were finished last week so I tried to pull them out of their containers, but couldn't, so I just cut them down and when I did I discovered a lot of new, healthy growth, so I left it and now I have two "new" tomato plants with blossoms and they look like they may produce more fruit.Patricia--- On Thu, 8/27/09, fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote:fraggle <EBbrewpunxRe: Weekend meals Date: Thursday, August 27, 2009, 11:06 AM when i had toooo many maters, i'd just turn em into sauce and freeze the excess alas, this year, only the cherry tomatoes went wild (thats what i get for going across the pond for almost a month i guess)... yarrow Aug 27, 2009 4:11 AM Re: Weekend meals Big garden, tiny kitchen No food processor No freezer But I like them best fresh anyway Sometimes I make juice At 12:07 AM -0700 8/27/09, Patricia wrote: Process them in a food processor and freeze them to use later for sauce.Patricia--- On Wed, 8/26/09, yarrow <yarrow wrote: yarrow <yarrowRe: Weekend meals@gro ups.comWednesday, August 26, 2009, 11:54 PM At 7:00 AM +0000 8/26/09, heartwerk wrote:>What are you planning (if you plan) for your weekend meals?>Tomatoes and more tomatoes!

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Aerated compost tea is reputed to help with verticillium. I haven't gotten around to making any, but I do add lots of homemade compost and then water it in.
