Here's my post about the Frittata Kitchen tomato:
https://www.tomatojunction.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1500
Frittata Kitchen is a working title for a possible sport of the Bloody Butcher tomato . It's a great culinary tomato, including for frittatas—or at least, this year it is.
The fi...read more

We're not drying a third batch of apricots, since they were starting to go bad too quickly. The rest is reserved for apricot pancake sauce (a relative is making it):

A sibling of mine harvested 12.5 gallons of apricots for us. We've got 2.5 gallons of them (sans waste and a few eaten ones) in the dehydrator right now, in halves (cut portion facing up), at 145° F. on the silicone mesh mats (except for the top tray which is just the chrome-plated stainless ste...read more

I just learned that late blight (Phytophthora infestans) of tomatoes isn't even a fungus. It's a chromist! Early blight (Alternaria solani) is a fungus, though. That's interesting that early blight is a form of Alternaria!

We've been getting a lot of cucumbers, this year (they're all Spacemaster, unless you count West India burr gherkins as cucumbers). Anyway, we decided to dehydrate a batch of them (six 15" x 13" trays)! They smell just like the dehydrated watermelon.
They're resting on silicone mesh...read more

West India burr gherkins are easy to grow. They fruit fairly early, prolifically, often, and all season. They're refreshing to eat. They can have an excellent shelf life. They have edible seeds within.
I'm thinking they're a good candidate for a crop to use to help supplement minerals in peop...read more

Wonderberries go excellently with ham. They add a nice zesty flavor. If I eat a few right before I bite into some ham, it also enhances the flavor of that ham.
Wonderberries go well with tomatoes. Combined with tomatoes, they're great cooked in frittatas, and on pizza; they're less remarkable...read more

We're growing Spacemaster cucumbers, this year. They're doing phenomenally well, especially considering that they're in soil that is probably kind of salty (due to being right next to a driveway that is salted in the winter). I don't know if they just like the year, or if it's an especially good...read more

So, I thought garden strawberries just multiplied by runners, or seed. But my plants (which were initially just one plant in each spot) now look like clumps of many plants. I wonder if they'll produce if I split them up. I wonder if they'll all stop producing at the same time, or if splitting th...read more

We got our first ripe tomatoes, today. There were three altogether: one from the Galapagos Island plant from a seed from a fruit with 5 locules, and the other two were from the Galapagos Island tomato from seeds from fruits that had withstood several hard freezes.
I gave the fruits to someone...read more

We were gifted a seedless watermelon recently (probably about 20lbs in weight). I cut it open and we ate about a slice of it altogether. Then I cut up the rest and started dehydrating it. Yes, the dehydrator fits about a whole store-bought seedless watermelon, although with thinner slices, maybe...read more

Our Red-seeded Citron watermelons that we harvested last year aren't getting any younger. So, I decided to cut the two largest ones up, season them like I do for citron watermelon crisp, and dehydrate them! :)
Yes, seeding those watermelons took a nice duration to do.
I figure they can pro...read more
