    Freezing Peas

    Depends on what kind of peas they are. If they are snapr or sugar I freeze pod and all, cause we eat it all. Other peas I shell and freeze. You are suppose to blanch but I find they are not as crisp if I do that. You are right, once you shell them, man was it worth it??? :P

    Anyone ever make tomato juice?

    That recipe is the only one I have ever tried. It does make a difference in the juice as to what kind of tomatoes you use. Paste maters will give you a thicker juice and not much water. I have drank the juice as I was making it, but I think it taste different after it sits for a few months.

    home made shade cloth anyone?

    Why not try old sheets or go get some cheap fabric, put some sticks or wood in the ground and tie your cloth to it, that way it is above the ground and water and air can flow easily or put your 4 stick in the ground but 2 higher than the other 2 and do the same. Hope this makes sense.

    Salsa Recipe?

    I have a salsa recipe that is good, but there is nothing like a fresh salsa. So my question is even tho I do see someone said it is unsafe to do, can I make the same fresh salsa recipe, put it in my jars and then hot water bath? Is this what the most of you do?
