A good friend of mine in Wyoming had gotten some sundried tomatoes from a market, from Turkey. She asked me if I thought the seeds would grow. I didn’t know for sure, but she planted them. And guess what? They grew and she transplanted them out into her garden where they soon set wonderful and abundant fruit. They are an oval-shaped, red paste tomato with no blemishes or cracks and great flavor. To prove it, she shipped me a whole box full, very carefully individually wrapped and packaged. She said she didn’t know if I would get catsup or tomatoes! Well, the box came and they were perfect! Of course I saved seeds, then went on to make salsa from them, skins and all, mixed with onions and peppers as usual. It was, without a doubt, the best salsa I’ve ever had! So, yes, the Turkish tomatoes will be added to our seed catalog for next year. Will wants to call them Turkish Sundried so we’ll see\u2026<\/p>\n

I was really impressed with the Turkish tomatoes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We’ve been drying and shelling beans like mad. Every day and night, often until 11 PM. But no mold so far and the beans look great. The sun’s supposed to come out tomorrow and that’ll be a huge relief. I’ll swear my toes are growing webs! Even Spencer, our Lab, doesn’t like going out; it’s too wet. You all know I’m not a “the sky is falling” kind of person but both Will and I foresee a big food shortage coming up so be sure to stock up while you can, guys. And grow a big garden next year.<\/p>\n

Our whole house is full of harvest and more to come!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yesterday, Will harvested seeds from dozens of Wapsi Wonder muskmelons. We tried these for the first time this year and were really happy with the size and flavor, despite the drought, in the new Wolf garden. They’re a definite keeper. And the chickens are real happy with all the leftovers! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
