I will try and make it, since it doesn't look complicated. I was surprised too, that the purple pepper had a green interior. Oh and the scent of cilantro is one of the best... I use it as often as I can. There's something about cilantro, garlic and red onions that I love. <BR/><BR/>I hope your tomatoes recuperate!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979577122006222781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-80585439039438796562007-07-13T17:34:00.000-04:002007-07-13T17:34:00.000-04:00Your fresh vegetables look wonderful!

So far, I have tiny red and green peppers, and tiny tomatoes.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The corn recipe looks good, when I ever get anything fresh, I will try it.

Set the stem end of the cob on top of the inverted bowl. The kernels will fall directly into the big bowl and you won't have a messy towel that has to be laundered.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-13243656251485079282007-07-12T23:26:00.000-04:002007-07-12T23:26:00.000-04:00I saw someone who was using red paper plates (cut ...I saw someone who was using red paper plates (cut to fit around the stem) as a cheap alternative to buying red plastic, that might be an idea. <BR/><BR/>The salsa sounds yummy!Muumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181825725581583635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-55895398127688169982007-07-12T18:50:00.000-04:002007-07-12T18:50:00.000-04:00I only have 3 spindly tomato plants, but I have ha...I only have 3 spindly tomato plants, but I have had thoughts of using that red plastic stuff they advertise these days. For 3 plants though, I don't know if it's really worth it! I was thinking though that besides the tomato-specific effects (I read about it in the catalog), it might keep the moisture stable. I wish I could eat in your kitchen...looks delicious over there.Gardenistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129253261044774675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-86066033927447325012007-07-12T17:57:00.000-04:002007-07-12T17:57:00.000-04:00Tracey, Dirty Fingernails,You're welcome!Gardenist...<I>Tracey, Dirty Fingernails,<BR/>You're welcome!<BR/><BR/>Gardenista,<BR/>Blossom-end rot is indicated by a black, rotting spot that appears on the end of the tomatoes while they're still on the vine. It's caused by calcium deficiency and/or irregular watering. I just gave the plants some fish emulsion (for the calcium) over the weekend, so I hope that helps. I don't use any mulch on them (just compost) but there's no compost available at our community garden right now. Do you use mulch on yours? Does it help?</I>Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905386163490128028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-55543311411404111092007-07-12T16:17:00.000-04:002007-07-12T16:17:00.000-04:00I am interested to know why you think the tomatoes...I am interested to know why you think the tomatoes have blossom end rot and what you might do about it?
