Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 29, 2020

what about zucchini/courgettes? those things grow like mad!

Because he wants to sell the rest for profit?

Because when you want a tomato with flavor you must grow it yourself ;-)

We moved, so our tomatoes are in containers this year. We’ve gotten two large tomatoes so far, a couple handfuls of cherry tomatoes and one yellow squash. And the squirrels eat all of the strawberries.

amen

And a Plugger usually has to pick twice the amount needed to get to the kitchen because he eats as he goes.

Today’s ‘Plugger’ is not from Texas but from Indiana—I speak from experience ! ! !

There are 2 of us; every year hubby’s garden is 20 feet wide x 50 feet long. I asked once why we need a garden so large. His answer, being the Kentucky boy he is—someone might need it. Feel free to stop by lol

In my 52 year gardening career, I’ve always shared more than 80% of my garden.

Mmmmm…a big fresh-picked tomato, still warm from the sun, with juice running down your arm if you don’t slurp quick enough when you take a bite…

My father would plant tomatoes every year… and they always arrived in numbers WAY more than enough for our family. …altho, a BLT with tomato just off the vine was nirvana

Amen to that! I just want to try all kinds of different seed varieties to see what they do. I can usually find suckers for the excess.

Amen

I am putting a stop to that nonsense. It is only too much work for me.

Mmm. Fresh vine ripened garden tomatoes. Some bread, a little mayo and I’m done. And done. And maybe just one more done.
