Holy tomatoes!

[weered1]

Sadly, there appears to be a tomato crisis happening in America- salmonella, do not eat tomatoes under pain of death, and all that jazz.

You're growing homemade Buffalo Mozzarella? Hard to come by buffalo milk in these parts, assuming most farmer's markets don't have the zoning or license to milk their own. Wheeeeeeee!

I've already eaten dinner, but that Insalata Caprese has made me salivating all over again! The photo of that salad looks like it uses balsamic vinegar in addition to the extra virgin olive oil, but we know the real zing is from the freshness of the live ingredients. Hopefully you're growing basil in your summer garden, too?

Now... what time would you like me to come over? *g*

I love the addition of balsamic vinegar to insalata caprese- I think it pushes it to new levels of 'yum' ;-) Yes, we're growing our own basil indoors, so we've been using that with farmers market tomotoes. I'm hoping our local farmers market will get a dairy table soon, so we can get all the major ingredients locally grown, including the cheese :-)

A post I made on Jan 2, 2005 confirmed that I have watched my now-uncle make mozzerella cheese and I said it didn't look that hard ;-)

Sorry to hear about your tomato plants. That could've easily happened to ours if not for the massive amounts of rain.

You got rain?!?!?!

I got NUZZINK.

We've gotten huge thunderstorms practically every evening...quite fantastic lightning, too. Supposed to hold off now until the weekend, so it looks like we're going to have to water the plants ourselves.

Our tomato plants are growing huge as well, although lots of flowers, we only have one tomato starting on the cherry tomato plant. I "sacrificed" one to the yard - in the hopes that once we planted something we cared about in the ground where we couldn't take it with us easily, we'd sell B's house (hasn't worked so far). But the zucchini squash plant we also planted has really started to grow (it's in a container on the recommendation of the people from the nursery, but I'm not sure it's going to stay in it's container).

Nothing beats home-grown veggies. Did you remove and relist B's house?

[elwing2000]

Yep, relisted on Thursday, 4 people came through over the weekend. I'm hoping that now that we've "committed" to staying put for at least the summer, Murphy's law will take over and it sells :) We also buried a St Joseph statue in the front yard, and I've started the application for "Get it Sold!" on HGTV. Any other superstitions you know about for getting a house sold?

[weered1]

I don't believe in superstition at all, but I would say take a vacation and maybe your house will be sold while you're gone ;-)

Ive got plants to get in the ground too!! Ive been waiting for it to cool off some here. Hopefully I'll get them in tonight. Ive got some peppers to plant and cucumbers too! mmmm I love fresh veggies in the summer!!

I think we'd be growing more if we had more room, but considering the room we had, toomatoes were the most important thing ;-)
