That is where I use up the carrot tops, the leek tops, onion skins and other stuff I have been stashing in the freezer from the beginning of summer. When I get enough vegetable matter and maybe a bone or so saved from a dinner, I toss it all in a pot and add the herbs appropriate and there it is, a nice broth to put all those vegetables one scrounges from the last of the summer supply.

Mismarked plants or stressed-out conditions causing fruit to form only to partial size? I had some plants in the heat and drought produce half-size fruit here, I know. but cherries from what was meant to be full-size? Sounds extreme. Welcome, Gail.

Very nice. In my fav's now. I'm distressed to hear that the lack of tomatoes runs to Texas, too. I'm in western NC and talked to the Master Gardeners here and their hunch is also lack of pollenators. I was looking for info on how to prune a 'golden string' evergreen. but got sidetracked. So i'll share a site i found with a recipe for green tomato mincemeat: http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/1639/ I'd love to hear, also, why, oh, why, we (as novice gardeners - 5 years) have bought what was supposed to be ordinary tomatoes and gotten cherry tomatoes instead. one was a golden cherry that was exceptional, but it sure wasn't a Best Boy or Early Girl. This is not down to one store either. Any thoughts on that? I'll be back, Thanks, Gail Hi, Margaret, just discovered your site. Very nice. In my fav’s now.
