I LOVE this idea! If it’s okay I’m going to steal it and do the same in our community garden.

Me thinks that they are spamming you.

Only 580mg of sodium for 2oz's!
Such a deal. I am restricted to 1500-1800mg per day. I guess that I would call that lower sodium but not low sodium. I can't even have a piece of bread with my spam.

Would this half naked Sutton's Peach Blow count as ugly?

@MissS I feel ya, my mother is also on a sodium restricted diet because of kidney stones and has a great deal of trouble finding sodium free food. She makes her own bread at home because store bought bread has too much sodium. Everything does. Reduced sodium goods are still too high. Personally I stopped using table salt myself and use No Salt, a potassium that is a sodium substitute. You get used to after only a few uses.
My first entry for the Ugly Contest. Lopsided German Queen.

My second entry for the Ugly Contest: this severely damaged Sutton's Peach Blow. While it was young it was half eaten by a hornworm.

The russeted patch has the mouth feel of approximately 220 grit sandpaper. Don't ask.

@Mark_Thompson That sure is an ugly one all right. It's not even blushing yet. I think that this is your second one that has gotten some kind of funk and started to rot. Given that, I might consider spraying them with isopropyl alcohol or a light vinegar spray as they start sizing up to keep whatever pathogen this is at bay.
