If you dig some up and stick them in a pot, it can help to improve their chances of tasting good when ripe.

Going to sink to 39 tonight here in west Michigan. Picked out most of the rest of the tomatoes, including the Russians which are late, don’t know if I will grow some of them next year. Out of the 7 varieties I tried I would probably do 4 again. Also picked a bunch of cayenne peppers, one last zucchini and a bunch of jalapenos. Don’t think my tomatillos will mature. I have lots but it doesn’t feel like there is much inside the blossom. Hubby taking off out of town for work so I hope to get caught up and there are a few nice pictures posted next week. I’ve been canning beeta and have a half bushel of tomato sauce on the stove and am going to break down and buy a foodsaver sealer. On mu bucket list is to use my Grandfather/Fathers cast iron sausage stuffer which I have had for years to actually stuff some sausage. I used it for many years as a hard cheese press but never did sausage. We’re going to smoke half and do half fresh and hen seal and freeze. Splitting the work with a family friend - 40 pounds total ground pork. I’m psyched. He used to work for a butcher and can get the casings from them. Been on FR since 98 and this gardening thread has been the most fun I have really enjoyed it so thanks to all for keeping it going.
