I know I'm weird. I made sungold tomato sauce one year. You couldn't use it for spaghetti since it was way too sweet for that. But it made some really nice creole dishes. And I liked it in some chilies too. I think the sweet and the heat went well together.<br /><br />I'm happy we are getting a break from out high 80s low 90s weather. That is just too hot for me. I like to be outside in the summer. And that isn't even close to your heat.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-84654274477232774132011-07-13T22:54:20.005-04:002011-07-13T22:54:20.005-04:00I'm growing sungolds and love them!

Erin, how long will they last then in the fridge, or can I put them on the shelf.<br /><br />Vanessa, I don't know what else you could trim vines on, but I know if I trim the SP vines the energy goes underground to make the potatoes larger.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-85587016154919993502011-07-13T14:44:58.501-04:002011-07-13T14:44:58.501-04:00Does trimming the vines only work for sweet potato...Does trimming the vines only work for sweet potatoes?Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668241377667731288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-902856969627890382011-07-13T14:44:17.706-04:002011-07-13T14:44:17.706-04:00I know you pulled your squash plants but if you st...I know you pulled your squash plants but if you still have any the zucchini stoup calls for cherry tomatoes you could make it and freeze it for the winter.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668241377667731288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-25631566850833065582011-07-13T14:00:30.956-04:002011-07-13T14:00:30.956-04:00Hi Ribbit!

Then Dani posted the other day that she hangs up her garden hat in May until fall and I felt a little better :) here I was thinking everyone else was just out working all day and I was inside crying LOL.<br /><br />I was accosted by squash bugs this morning, ick! Same time for me, 7:45 am for tomatoes and sweaty within 10 minutes! I almost decided to dust those stupid squash bugs and run back in but of course I couldn't since all the pretty bees were out in the blossoms :)<br /><br />The only thing I do with those little tomatoes besides salad is squish them first then dry them - I keep them in a container in the fridge when dry, then use them to blend in with my hummus or softened with hot water for winter pizza toppings.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-21257967422870877122011-07-13T11:18:24.147-04:002011-07-13T11:18:24.147-04:00Great harvest, Ribbit!
