So, on 26 Aug 2019, we were out of regular milk. So, I decided to try almond milk on my cereal for the first time (I've had almond milk before—but not on cereal). Anyway, on the cereal, the almond milk tasted surprisingly a lot like regular milk.
The wonderberries only contributed a very mild...read more

We harvested about four or five stainless steel mixing bowls of tomatoes on 26 Aug 2019, with more left to pick.
We have our largest stockpot, which is probably full or nearly full, stewing them on low. The canning should begin in a number of hours (it's the middle of the night).

Our Jerusalem artichokes have been falling over for a little while. I guess the tuber-grown ones get a lot taller. They're starting to develop buds.

So, on 26 Aug 2019, we had some millet with carrots and hamburger seasoned with Maggi season (as well as pepper, I think). It was really good! I loved the hamburger with Maggi seasoning. I'll have to remember that.
The millet was cooked like rice.

I harvested, seeded and ate a fruit from my Amana Orange cross on 26 Aug 2019. It tasted awesome! It had great firm texture like Amana Oange has in the past, too. The shape is like the Amana Orange I grew in 2017, but the fruit isn't very big.
I suspect that Girl Girl's Weird Thing was the fa...read more

This tomato was actually pretty tasty. It was like a much tangier version of Chapman, taste-wise, but the texture was different and more like those of my Brandy Boy crosses.
I suspect that Chapman is the father plant, as it tasted like Chapman. Taste-wise, the only other tomato with a similar...read more

Here another picture of what was supposed to be Husky Red F1. This is a fruit I harvested, seeded and ate today. I suspect this is rather actually a stable matriarchal parent of Husky Red F1, seeing as the foliage is not rugose (it is regular leaf). The foliage is stiff like rugose foliage, thou...read more

I harvested the first Polish Linguisa tomato, today. It was over-ripe, but it was one of the best-tasting tomatoes this year, right up there with my two favorite Brandy Boy crosses and Marion! It smelled good before I cut it open, too. I saved the seeds for a trade. I'll have to save more for my...read more

I'm growing three spots of three different kinds of watermelons that each share congo as their matriarchal ancestor. There are probably three plants per spot, and each plant is probably different, too.
Anyway, I ate one today. I think it crossed again with Sugar Baby Bush last year, since the...read more

Here's a post about my Corrales Azafrán safflower from earlier this year: http://vegetables.boards.net/thread/442/corrales-azafr-safflower
My plants are starting to wind down for the season, by the look of it. They're falling over and I think the leaves are changing colors.
I'm letting all...read more

I have a spot where I'm growing watermelon where I lost the tag. They're some of my largest. I'd suspect that they were Congo cross, except all of my Congo crosses are accounted for. They could be Verona, but they'd probably be ripe by now if so. They have dark green, solid-color rinds. One frui...read more

This thread is about the Santo Domingo Dark Green watermelon . For information about all three Santo Domingo watermelon breeds, see this link .
I ate the smallest of the three Santo Domingo Dark Green watermelons, today. It was very sweet and was pretty good. The rind had that winter melon sk...read more

In 2018, I discovered that my Tom Watson watermelon was a cross (probably with King Winter). It tasted almost as good as Tom Watson, but managed to get bigger than both Tom Watson and King Winter had for me.
In 2019, I grew F2 seeds and got three fruits. Each fruit seems to be from a differen...read more

I grew Neapolitan last year in containers. I'm growing it this year in the ground with a shredded wood mulch. It's doing better this year, and ripening faster. The first ripe fruit was a while ago.
Here are some pictures of the fruits. I saved seeds from the three large ones in the bowl on 20...read more

I harvested four ripe fruits of the Early Treat F1 tomato on 20 Aug 2019. They were the first on the plant. They were salad-sized with a normal salad tomato taste (maybe a little sweet). The skins were thick. The plant had eastern shade and a late start. I saved F2 seeds from these fruits.

I grew Delicious 51 from Everwilde Farms . I knew from the picture of it where I bought it that it was probably a cross, but I wanted to try it anyway. It grew a fruit that looked like a Charentais melon (but it tasted very delicious in a way that the Charentais melon I grew this year did not, a...read more

Today seems to be watermelon day (2019) or the day when we first harvest lots of watermelons at once. I found nineteen ripe ones, the largest of them being a Santo Domingo Dark Green. Most of the winter watermelons and larger watermelons are still ripening.
Alas, I don't mean National Waterme...read more

Here's Wednesday's tomato harvest (most of it):

My beloved Aunt Gertie's Gold fruit got blossom end rot. It got it heavily; so, I didn't taste the fruit. However, I was determined not to let it stop me (so, I saved seeds from it, just in case). There are other fruits forming. Hopefully they make it.
I often wonder if seeds from BER fruits...read more

Here are some Black Vernissage fruits. I saved seeds from them. The plant was stunted until other plants had already been big for a good while. However, it was the first tomato to sprout, I believe. I think a disease stunted it. I zapped the seeds (so, I'm curious to see how they perform next ti...read more

Here are a couple Big Boy F1 tomatoes. I saved F2 seeds from them. The taste wasn't anything out of the norm, but the fruits were shaded by the plant itself and surrounding caged tomato plants. The taste wasn't bad, though. I think it would taste better with more sun.

I tasted some Noire de Crimée tomatoes with BER, on 3 Aug 2019. They were good, but the taste was a lot milder and more normal than I would have expected from what others say about it and Black Krim. Maybe the shade from the neighboring plants lesseed the flavor.
There are ripe ones without B...read more

Here are some Black Beauty fruits, this year. I'm not sure if this is a cross or not, since it has different growing conditions, this year. The definite cross showed no anthocyanin; so, that has me thinking this might be true-to-type.
I grew it in 2017 where it waited until the end of the se...read more

I'm growing two Mustard Bhutlah plants. One of them has black on its leaves and fruits. It started out having a lot of black, but soon a lot of the black dissipated. The stems and branches are black, except on the lower half of the plant. One of the fruits appears to be all black. I discovered t...read more

Make popcorn with oil and put Tajin seasoning on it. It's awesome.
Tajin seasoning is made from salt, cayenne pepper, and limes, I believe.
