I have... thirty different types of tomatoes.

Which are your favorites? Which do you dislike?

What am I missing that I should add to my arsenal in the future?

Hi all! I have just created !boomersbeingfools@lemmy.world for a place to share stories

about boomers

being fools.

I am not a moderator on the subreddit, nor am I affiliated with the subreddit-- however I am open to their mods coming over here and joining the team as well.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic holiday season! <3

Edit: Tried making MillennialsBeingFools (or variations) as well and was unable to.

For those of us currently in winter-- what new varieties are you growing this coming year?

What new things have you added to your garden for the upcoming season?

What new techniques are you trying this year?

We're in the dead of winter and I am itching to get back out into the garden... tell me what you're up to!

Hi friends!

Sort of thinking out loud here, any advice would be appreciated.

I'm considering setting up my smaller greenhouses in one of the outbuildings on our property over winter to attempt to grow some things. Said outbuilding houses my rabbit in a stall year round, and she has a heat lamp in the winter. The building itself is not heated.

My thought process is that I could grow some cold weather crops on the shelves in the greenhouses (one is smaller, one is walk in) and with all the different lights and her heat lamp... I'd think it would at least add a bit to the ambient heat in the building? (Not a big building at all, smaller than our chicken coop.)

Am I being obnoxiously ambitious? Is this at all a feasible thought?

I'm in Zone 5, so my sights are now set on what to do with what is left at the end.

A tomato soup? Hot or Cold?

What if I have to pull plants early due to a cold snap?

A green tomato soup? Hot or Cold?

I'm just looking for ideas, or what you do with your extras. We also can in my household, but I don't foresee having enough tomatoes left at the end of the season to warrant going through the whole canning process.

Thoughts?

(PS @Thrawn: My volunteer sun golds did end up producing after my hornworm invasion. Not much, but they did... and they looked true! I just left them on the plant, as they has blossom end rot, unfortunately... so I can't tell you how they tasted.)

Maybe I missed something, so my apologies if this is a stupid question— but what happened to the c.im instance? I’ve periodically checked the last 24 hours and haven’t been able to connect.

Is it gone, or is something else going on? Thanks in advance, friends!

I’ve been considering making beef medallions, but I have a very strong dislike of horseradish.

Admittedly I’m probably missing something super obvious, but what could I do instead? I’m not big on bleu cheese, either.

I keep thinking some whipped chive butter or something, but I’m not sure.

Ideas?

This sweet millions plant has been a chonker since I got it.

Was the first one with any maters on it. Today, when I was fixing the ties to the trellis, I knocked a small green tomato off.

Of course, I had to taste it. Even green it was delicious... though it had an interesting apple flavor and bite to it.

I had a greenhouse mishap this spring, causing me to have to buy a lot of plants from the store.

I can't wait to see what all she gives me!

But next year, its back to from seed only.

Hello tomato friends!

I try to be a good an honest person, even on the internet where no one will know I'm a dog. I try to take people at face value when possible-- we all need to form our own opinions.

But I'll be good fucking goddamned if every reddit post someone tries to be nice on is either met with blatantly superficial kindness in return, or an ass ton of downvotes.... for some fucking reason only known to the hivemind.

I much prefer to be here-- here and Mastodon. In both places I've gotten to have conversations with real fucking people about real fucking things that I really fucking care about.

I love being able to educate people on things-- and have it be taken in stride as opposed to being viewed as speaking down or assuming someone is 'stupid.' I love the actual back and forth that comes of it.

The Fediverse really does give us the experience we had in the early days of the internet-- where if your opinion was dogshit, real life people would tell you and give you the reason why, without being a condescending jackass right back.

Anyway, love you Lemmy. Stay vibin.
