Well I hope y'all get a little reprieve from the weather up that way Philip. We've had rain off and on but right now it's been nice and cool. It's about time for me to pick some tomatoes and peppers I think. Haven't had many bugs to speak of. I've only pulled off 3 worms and they didn't do any damage to the fruit.
Allen, you said I should pick them green. I have one tomato that's getting pretty big but hasn't started to turn yet. What size do I wait for them to get before I pick them?
I usually pick them right when they start to turn from green to red. They won't put on any more size to speak of. I just let them finish ripening on the kitchen window sill. It just seems like here at the house, any time they turn red, it attracts every bird from three counties and 2 time zones.
Plus having chickens and now turkeys, they see the red and make a Carl Lewis run across the yard to them
I picked the first picking of datal peppers this morning. I only had about a quart bag to start off the season but it will increase as the season continues.

Has anyone ever had any saucer squash? A guy here at work brought me in 3 of these things yesterday. Never having ate them before I was kinda unsure of just how to fix them. I just added a few things that I liked and baked them up. First thing I cut them in half and cleaned out the seeds chopped up some onion and mixed up some garlic infused ricotta cheese added a little butter then draped a chicken breast over the top seasoned with a little zesty Italian. then finished off with a few slices of bacon. (Everything is better with Bacon) Will add the finished product later.

Someone Stole the bacon off the top.
