Wish I could send you some tomatoes this summer. I’ll probably have plenty. I hate “store-bought” tomatoes, too. They are totally tasteless.
I haven’t even been able to get my garden broken up yet, because of all the rain. I was hoping for next week, but now we are due for more rain.
Changing the subject, but I thought you might get a kick out of this: I like to make blackberry jam cakes, but had to make my own jam from frozen blackberries because I could not find any in the stores that had seeds and pulp. In fact, Smucker’s bb jam is more like jelly. I had gone online looking for some, but even the Amish jam was seedless.
Well, a friend went to North Carolina last week and came back with a jar of bb jam for me with seeds and all. Guess where it came from. Switzerland, of all places.
Do you have Safeway stores there?
I am pretty sure that there are seeds in their BB jam.
In the spring/early summer they have a sale on their label and other off brand type labels and I have bought them for years.
The only one that I did not like was the pineapple preserves.
The Swiss wanted to get in on the easy money in America.
Odd they would ship it to an area that they have so many of them growing, but few people make jams and jellies today, that the whole world must be an open market.
