Though if you have just a few tomatoes and are making something like pizza sauce or making a little salsa here is the technique for you. Step #1: Slice your tomatoes and remove seeds. Start by slicing your tomatoes down the middle and…

Summer harvest
Well it hasn’t been a great year here in the Northwest for summer vegetables but got enough tomatoes and peppers to make some salsa and get stocked up with enough jalapeno pepper powder (been great on omelets) until next year. With a larger abundance of ripe jalapeno peppers this batch of peppers have a more festive look to them. Here are the peppers ground up, as you can see…

Late summer harvest
width=”550″ height=”412″ /> One of the good things about a cold summer is still getting harvests of summer vegetables now into October. Got another cucumber for summer fall pickles and some tomatoes I have ripening inside which this weekend I used to make some low carb pizzas. One thing I was especially excited about was my jalapenos finally getting ready to be picked which I will dry and make…

How to peel a tomato
I always settled on making salsa leaving the skins on, knowing there had to be a better way I did a little research and learned a simple way to get those pesky skins off with minimal effort. The process is very simple, get a pot of boiling water, drop in your tomato for 10-15 seconds ad immediately remove and drop in a bowl of ice water. This submersion…

How to make your tomatoes turn red?
alt=”” width=”425″ height=”286″ border=”0″ /> While going searching my logs I noticed the query in the topic. My first response, in my sarcastic mind was, “Uh red paint, maybe a red permanent marker?” After some more serious thought I did get some more helpful ideas. Don’t be greedy: I know it is hard when you want to get as many delicious tomatoes as possible and you let your plants…

Why don’t you grow tomatoes in the ground?
When I mention I grow tomatoes upside down many people ask me, “Why don’t you grow tomatoes in the ground?” The surprise answer is, I do grow both in the ground and in the air. The picture above shows my current tomato plants I am growing in the one location with sufficient sunlight to grow them, which might explain the reason why I look alternate options for adding more…

Sorry to hear that you don’t yet have any tomatos, but here in southern France we do! We have strings of many many cherry tomatos, a few of which have turned red, and the official First Tomato Of The Year To Eat ceremony was about a week ago! Best of luck with yours soon!
I have the first of my roma tomatoes just starting to show a blush. Weather has been weird/stupid this year.(too wet and not very hot until this past weekend), and we all know tomatoes are heat gluttens.
On a good note, I will be pickling cucumbers this weekend,(I think I planted WAY too many cukes) and may just have the first ripe tomatoe.
I’m in southeastern Wisconsin and we also have lots of blossoms but no fruit. I visited family in central Wisconsin and they had a lot of green fruit. I think the difference (other than a garden that’s in 100% full sun) is they started their seeds with lamps, where I only started my seeds near the window. They were only started about a week apart…
Hello from Belgium! Not a single tomato embryo here neither, despite plants that look quite vigorous and numerous flowers.
I could have done it entirely wrong, though, because this is my first attempt at gardening. I’ve also put some suckers in seedling pots and see if they want to root – if so, I might hang them upside down using your directions and save some space in the veg patch 😉
Best wishes,
Sophie
No tomatoes down the hill here either, just the blossoms, however I think a few peppers in the greenhouse are finally starting to appear (Cayenne).
Hopefully we will soon see the fruits of our labors.
Glad I am not the only one, hope we have a late first freeze…if not might be ripening green tomatoes in the garage this year.
woo hoo!.. I got my first ripe tomatoe yesterday( a paste type).. granted it was a small roma, and not a whole lot of taste, but still, its the first of what I hope are many, many more to come.(now if only the other varieties will ripen)
Teresia, finally got my first fruit to show up. Hopefully there are more to come shortly.
