I still have some tomatoes in the freezer too. I think I am going to try to make a small batch of low sodium ketchup and spaghetti sauce, if I can find a recipe.

I really like cream of tomato soup too. So might search for a low sodium variety. I stay within the the AHA’s target range for sodium, but at the higher end, and was thinking that taking it down a notch would help my Blood Pressure.

Hubby already tells me “it needs salt” most of the time, but now that I am used to this level, I don’t notice it.

The very last of the picked green tomatoes (turned red in paper sacks in the garage) went into tomato sauce for pasta yesterday. We stated those exactly 1 year ago.

It might be known that at least one of our Freeper Gardeners grew sone of the hot peppers for their own use and offered seeds to other Freepers.
These offered seeds (3 varieties) included : 7 pot Douglah, Trinada Scorpion longtail, and Datil.
I intend to use the above varieties to see if they are an effective pesticide for thrips, and other leaf eating pests (including humans) with gloves and safety glasses
as these are potentially harmful doses of capiscum.
Apparently the Carolina Reeper sufferred from a premature frost, and was somewhat of a crop failure.
This brings me to another point : would other Freeper Gardeners consider a possible seed exchange.
