Ceresone! Glad to see you post. I thought the ticks and mosquitoes might have gotten you.
Thanks for the tomato report. Hope you can get most of your canning done before your next surgery. Those tomatoes better hurry. It certainly FEELS warm enough for them to ripen. Yesterday was awful.

You make your own egg noodles? I tried only once making my own noodles and they weren't very good. I must not have had a good recipe or just didn't know what I was doing.

ceresone, glad you checked in. The only purple I ever tried was Pruden's Purple, touted to be so delicious, it was soft, mushy and not tasty at all....just pitched them.

I know most of the heirlooms say 80 to 85 days so I always plant some early ones. I think you may have a point in using the hybrids for a main crop and just a few of heirlooms for better taste.

Sure hope yours ripen soon. Looks like as early as you got them in they should be ripened by now! From May 10 until August 4 is 86 days. This has been a very strange gardening and growing year.

I have a really good way to use up those extra eggs too....pound cake! If my chickens finally get to that laying point again, I am going to do the egg noodles..never thought of that (and, of course, pound cake!).

ceresone- sounds like a lot of frustration! with 4-5000 tomato varieties to chose from, there is a lot ot do. hope things go better for you in the next couple of weeks.

Ceresone, so glad you checked in. Can't beleive you stole a tomato away from a poor ole turtle, he'll probably be traumitized the rest of his life.LOL
Your tomatoes should ripen fast with this hot weather now.
Hope you get everything done before your surgery. If you're able let us know how things go after your surgery.
