with all due respect.. and tongue in check.. do you guys look at the forecast when thinking about planting... couldnt it have waited a few days.. until you were only in the 80' ... or a week for the 70's the biggest lesson i ever learned.. IN SUMMER ... is that you dont have to quit buying... but it is a good time TO QUIT PLANTING ... pot them up.. in some good media.. and put them in shade.. and PLANT THEM WHEN THE WEATHER IS PROPER .... remove tongue from cheek.. and offer apology of anyone is offended ... ken ps: you ought to see my pile of pots some years.. a hundred of them waiting for sept to be planted .... and of course .. the whole potting thing is its own nightmare .... like having an aneurysm.. and forgetting to water them for 3 weeks ... they now sit on the ledge next to the front door.. which i go out of.. some 100 times per day ... and some times i still forget to water them for 2 weeks ...

We had to good hard freezes here, in Tahlequah, this week. Oh well, winter is coming. Enjoy those green tomatoes! My wife is still canning tomatoes from our garden. George

Cathy, Fried Green Tomatoes was always a breakfast food in my family, it wasn't until I met Elery that I realized other people actually had them for dinner! I do have a recipe for "oven fried" green tomatoes and it's not bad, but it's not fried green tomatoes, exactly. Still yummy, though, and I just use cornmeal because my daughter is celiac and can eat these. Oven Fried Green Tomatoes 1/2 c. cornmeal 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 1 tbsp. water 3 med. size green tomatoes, cut in 1/4" slices Vegetable cooking spray Combine cornmeal, salt and pepper; set aside. Combine egg and water; beat well. Dip tomatoes in egg mixture; dredge in cornmeal mixture. Lightly coat a 15"x10"x1" baking pan with cooking spray. Place tomatoes in a single layer in pan. Bake at 450 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Yield: 6 servings, about 64 calories per serving. NOTE: Yellow squash may be substituted for tomatoes. Annie

I’d love to trade some hostas. I need to figure out the correct names of all the ones that I have.
