Tomato Pie. 9.4.22

With lots of heirloom-type dwarf tomatoes, I made a tomato pie.  Here is the recipe.

Here is a slice.

This was a lot of work.  It was also very good.

Flowers. 9.4.22

 Morning glories.

Brugmansia.  The first blossom.

That Thunbergia again.

Rose, "Tropical Lightening"

Dwarf Tomato Harvest. 9.4.22

 Most of the dwarf tomatoes are producing like crazy now.  They make similar amounts and they are all good, with heirloom tomato flavors.  The Romas made enough too, for another batch of tomato sauce.

The golden cherry tomatoes are Sungold, which I also trained as a bush type, even though it isnt.

Saving Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce Seeds. 8.29.22

 I cut some flower heads from the Black Seeded Simpson lettuce plants that I let bolt.

It's easy.  Just cut the scruffy looking flower heads.  Store them in an open paper bag until winter.  Then they will be fully dried out and ready to clean up.

Tomato Sauce. 8.29.22

 I used the Roma tomatoes to make seven packets of frozen tomato sauce.  I also made some pasta sauce for supper.

The Roma tomato plants have about three times as many green tomatoes.  Maybe more.  So there will be more sauce ahead.
