Gardening question

I decided to go with the Celebrity tomato this year upon the
recommendation of a little old lady, who was also at the feed store
picking out tomato plants. I'm just now getting some pink tomatoes,
thats the way I like em. But I got alot of them that are rotten on
the bottom. I've heard of this in certain varieties that it is
called 'bottom rot' Can anybody tell me how to prevent it or stop
it. The chickens truly appreciate this disease in tomatoes, but I
don't[:D] Any information as always, is appreciated.[:)]

    Going strictly by getting your nutritional needs met in a self-sufficient manner, what kinds of things do you plant and how much for a normal size family?

    I am craving some fried green tomatoes. I have only bought my green tomatoes from the local produce stand but right now I have tons of them on my tomato plants.

    Do I just pick any of the green ones or is there something special to look for?

    Planted some Icycle Radish's and they have broke through.

    Is it beneficial to mulch them?I worked with my Father in his large garden,but have not grown Radish's for many years and can't remember whether to mulch.

    Also is there a way to keep them for later use?

    I am confused at times.<BR>We park on driveways<BR> and<BR>drive on parkways.

    I got some store bought breader that I use. The seasonings in it are great and it has a little spicyness to it.

    I just did not know if there was something special to look for before picking my green ones.

    When we make FGT's we just pick the biggest ones and it seems to work out fine

    this fall when the garden season is over, pick your green tomatoes,sclice them about 1/2-3/4" thick. place them in a zip lock bag and add water and freeze. they are not quite as good as fresh ones, but they taste pertty good in the winter [:p]
