    I've got a tomato plant with at least 50 tomato's on it, now all they have to do is turn red.[;)][;)]


    I pulled up 23 of my 25 plants this weekend. Mine were all done. I have processed 3 wheelbarrows full so far[:0] Try a product by the name of "mater magic" from the lowes or home depot. Also, if you are watering daily, stop!! you stress the plant a little and it will begin to ripen the fruit.

    as far as Kale, you harvest the larger leaves and then allow them to continue growing, just like with collards. Kale, as well as other greens are usually better after a frost, as it makes them less bitter, although I grew them through the summer anyway. I pulled out my collards a month ago and replanted for fall crops. Kale, collards, brussle sprouts, spinach, peas, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, etc.



    I don't water them at all the sky does that for me. It's been raining every other day here since spring.

    I'm not sure where your located JustC but I doubt your in the mid west.
    Every one's tomato's here are still green.

    I just got through an extended training session with my lab. Now he is e-collar trained and free to roam about the portion of my yard which is unfenced.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I planted 12 kale plants this year and I just keep pulling off the big leaves until I have enough for dinner. They grow back faster than I eat them.

    I can't get cilantro to work for me, even though I LOVE the stuff. We just planted some "slow bolt" cilantro, and now it is cooling down, so we will see.

    I am not in the midwest, but rather the east coast. My tomatoes were started from seed Feb 1st, and kept under T5 and metal halide lights until May, when they were transferred outside. That may have had something to do with their production, since many folks here say they still have green tomatoes.

    anyway, go buy the mater magic and water that in around the roots. It is the best tomato producing food ever........

    We don't plant anything here before Memorial Day because of the threat that you can still get a hard frost until the end of May.

    I tried quitting a few times and I almost became violent. Some days I can go for hours not smoking as long as I'm real busy. Other times not, when I feel good I smoke more when I'm depressed I smoke more as well. Just try to keep an even keel.

    I run my cilantro through a coffee grinder then put a thin layer in the dehydrater to speed the drying process. I buy bulk packs of cigarette tubes and roll my own cilantro.
