You’re one of the very few people I know who’ve had a good zucchini year, Gotch. That’s great!

Re: Jardín del Gotch
@Cornelius_Gotchberg any favorite tomato for 2024 or is it still too early to declare a winner?

To paraphrase The Bard: "An Ananas Noire By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet" The lovely and long suffering Mrs. Gotch mixed it in with her eggs this morning...and just yelled down that it was the best EVAH!

Re: Jardín del Gotch
At the risk of sounding like an illiterate fool, is your food scale set to ounces or pounds? It's difficult to see in the picture.

That's what I've been doing! It takes a lot of work, but the final product is SO yummy! And I can pronounce every ingredient!

Re: Jardín del Gotch

Re: Jardín del Gotch
if there isn't some flavor to go with the shape, nah.
but, i do have what i think is a good idea.
tomato art.
either pictures of interesting and colorful tomatoes or someone who is skilled in
ceramics, could make tomatoes, and sell them, or stain glass. let your imagination
and creativity go, and create something people did not think they needed, but do.
