News said this morning that cherry, grape, and tomatoes on vine are o.k. Slicing and plum maters are the suspected culprits? Still scary though!

But Janie that's half the fun!!!
You know all the hard work love and affection I put into that garden? Every time a frost came I was running out there covering everything up and worrying like a Mom over wether or not my little plants would make it? Well now thanks to all my hard work & effort I feel totally entitled to BRAGGING RIGHTS:D
But seriously I am so excited when I see those lovely tomatoes on my vines!

There was a pregnant woman in front of me at the check out ysterday who had a dozen or more plum tomatoes in her cart. I asked if she had heard about the salmonella and she said she didnt care.
lol Cathy. We have a few things coming on in the garden like peas, zucchini and broccoli but its going to be a long time yet before we have tomatoes. I will probably be able to buy them at the farmers market before I can get them from our garden. I noticed some baby banana peppers in the garden when I was there the other day.

REMEMBER I TOLD YOU I HAD ALL OF 4 PEPPER PLANTS IN MY GARDEN, AFTER ALL THOSE OTHER PLANTS TURNED OUT TO BE TOMATOES? WELL THIS WEEKEND I ACTUALLY killed 3 of THE ONLY PEPPER PLANTS I DID ACTUALLY HAVE!
BEFORE WE LEFT FOR OUR CAMPING TRIP I WATERED AND FERTILIZED THE GARDEN WHEN WE CAME BACK ON SUNDAY THE 3 PEPPER PLANTS WERE LIKE DEAD AS A DOORNAIL!!! IT WAS SO UNSEASONABLY HOT HERE AND THEN THE FERTILIZER AND WELL NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY....PEPPERS AND I JUST DO NOT SEEM TO BE CONDUCIVE TO A HAPPY LIFE TOGETHER, SO I WENT OUT YESTERDAY AND BOUGHT SOME THAT ARE ALLREADY UP AND PLANTED THEM IN A CONTAINER IN POTTING SOIL, HOPEFULLY TO HAVE A LITTLE BETTER LUCK WITH THEM! GIVE ME A PEPPER PLANT AND I WILL KILL IT EVERY TIME HA-HA!

Am I paranoid????
These tomatoes - they've been floating around the states since April of this year. It is now June.
How many were sold/delivered to tomato processing plants to make tomato sauce, tomato paste, tomato puree, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, pizza sauce, various spaghetti sauces, frozen dinners that have tomato-based sauces, pizza-making kits with the little can or pouch of sauce, tomato soups, salad dressings, barbecue sauces, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato juices, baby foods, salsa, picante sauces, ketchups, canned stews and soups, frozen pizzas, tomato jams, etc.
Have any of the seeds been dried for next years use?
Just wonderin'............................
