DNA testing kit needed.

dcarch · August 31, 2006

So, friends, I envy those of you who have lots of space, nice weather and super scrumptious soil to grow tomatoes.

I don’t have any of the above. Well, Zone 6 is not too bad. Anyway, I call my efforts “extreme tomato-ing”. No Sun, no room, no soil.

Just the same, I tried my best.

I planted my tomatoes 14 inches apart (bad idea). All the branches are now intertwined and tangled with each other. I can no longer tell which varieties is which, and what I am getting and eating.

Do they sell portable tomato DNA testers?

So I got a few toms today. No idea of their identities. Made myself a salad with them. Tasted gosh darnoodley good. I wish I know what they are so I can grow them again.

The flowers are eatable squash flowers.

dc,

Great pictures, beautiful presentation! Are those some of your square tomatoes or did you just slice them that way?

Polar,

Christmas in Australia, I understand it is a good way to go.

Somebody down there should have those square maters by then.

Thanks guys.

Taste and smell are important to the enjoyment of food.
Making food look good amplifies the quality of taste and smell even more.

Next yeat I will try making star-shaped maters.
