    Favorite tomatoes for sauce and salsa?

    Thanks! The cherries here would just be for snacking. I've wanted to try the Russian types. The climbing type sound interesting too. Sounds like I've got a couple of new ones to try!

    Favorite tomatoes for sauce and salsa?

    I'd love to find one variety that was good for both sauce and salsa. Not a lot of room here! I usually have a couple of big salad type and a cherry in pots on the deck, but I think I've got a new spot to fence in, in the sunniest spot in the yard, to do a little raised bed gardening for...

    A quick search did not net me any easily found answers.... What are your favorites? I don't have a ton of space to try lots of different varieties the same year to see what works best here. Thanks!

    The Any Wonderful Food You Made From Your Garden Today Thread!

    It really wasn't too hard. I had made cow's milk mozz recently with a friend using a kit from New England Cheese Making Co. Used the same kit with the goat's milk and it worked just as well. :) We had planned on getting two kids this spring which we did, then an opportunity came up to also...

    About currants

    I found Miller Nursery in Canandaigua NY. I think I will contact them about planting times etc and order some. After I measure from my tree to see if 900 ft falls in a decent location to grow them!

    About currants

    Decided to look into this again after seeing some at Old Sturbridge Village. I contacted the Extension Agent here in CT. It is legal to grow red currants in CT. It is recommended to plant them 900 feet from any white pine. (White Pine blister rust is the disease currants caused a problem with)...

    Help!!! - need to get rid of Poison Ivy/Poison Oak naturally

    That's what my DH does too. He's got a long pair of thick black "linesman's gloves". He pulls it out then immediately comes in and strips. He takes a shower with naphtha soap then washes his clothes in hot water. The vinegar rinse is a great idea too. Can you borrow some goats?

    What Are You Planting Today, This Week, This Month?

    My peas survived the torential rains we got last week! I've got two sprouting today. Of course, they're in pots which helped them dry out a bit. I put in Red Fire lettuce today.

    How are you feeling this morning ~ HUNG-OVER ???

    No hangover here. Just had one Russian Eggnog (eggnog, vodka and kahlua) and a sip of bubbly. Slept in and felt just fine. :cool:

    About currants

    Okay, here's what it says: "Currants are a novelty item in certain sections of the United States where the bushes were uprooted because they harbored a fungus destructive to the white pine. If you are fortunate enough to have some, by all means maked jelly with them."
