Looks like I got a start on some red salsa and green salsa verde....5 gallon bucket full of tomatillas...the tomatoes in the middle are amish paste tomatoes...the are indeterminate plants...meaning they produce fruit until they die and they are heirloom tomatoes (open pollinated) meaning they pollinate naturally no cross breeding and they have been like that for over 40 years View attachment 18887438
That’s a nice haul

Exciting stuff going on over at Drumskinz. The mystery plant in the compost is the biggest one! Looking forward to seeing them ripen up. Looks like a great assortment.

Why don't you make more mounds and plant the plants in the ground next year? Wall of weed! :smoke:

We had a damaging rainstorm come through a couple of hours ago…looked like a hurricane out there…probably 50 or 60 mph winds with almost an inch of rain…did manage to top dress all the outs before the rain though…Triple P got bent over real good…almost a 90 degree angle…took a bunch of plant stakes to kind of stabilize the plant and a 2” pvc pipe pounded in the ground as far as it would go…and a 32” zip tie wrapped around it to secure it….looks weird about 3 lower branches broke off a while ago and now there is a gaping whole in the west side of the plant…I’ll take some pics tomorrow if I remember…about 5 of the plants in those 60 gallon bags needed staking up too….I’ll fine tune it all tomorrow…got a tomato box of dilly beans to pickle tomorrow and my crew will be here in full force as well

So this is Triple P today...still alive a little disfigured...a monster none the less...can't even wrap my hand around her...the trunk did take a left turn at Albuquerque...though at first she was horizontal to the ground

Thanks to my wife and Chunky's help we processed about 55lbs. of Cabbage today for sauerkraut...That's Chunky's hand doin the pounding of the Cabbage...3tbsp of sea salt to 5lbs. of cabbage...leaving it sit for 15 minutes to draw out the moisture for fermenting...then smashing it down in the crock to help break it up even more...cover it with whole cabbage leaves and a couple of ceramic half donut weights to keep it all submerged under the briney solution...after that the final touch...pour Poland spring water in the moat on top of the crock to make it water sealed...no need for peeking or skimming during fermentation...just keep moat full of water above air escape holes during process and 6 to 7 weeks later "SAUERKRAUT" View attachment 18883670 View attachment 18883671 View attachment 18883672
is that a drum stick??? lol Love me some home made sauerkraut, good job fellas, and Mrs D.
I have a store bought jar that I can not crack the lid, too tight. It is Bavarian style with a small bit of caraway seeds in it which is very good imo but any kraut will do.

Today was salsa making day...got everything...Tomatoes, Garlic, Onions, Sweet and Hot Peppers all prepped and processed...along with sea salt, apple cider vinegar and cilantro...16 quarts made in a big 20 quart plastic food storage container...it will sit in fridge overnight and tomorrow it will all be canned...I usually adjust the salsa with thickly made homegrown tomato sauce to get a consistency of Tostitos salsa...I will add more pix tomorrow
