Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower

Nice recipes.

We just put the tomatoes on the windowsill and they eventually ripen, no
matter how green.

Have you tried fried green tomatoes?

I been playing around, making different concoctions. Trying to use up the
cabbage I have in my garden.

Last night. I went to make some broccoli and cauliflower with butter and
cheese. For a side dish at dinner. I also was making hamburger patties. It
didn't seem like enough to eat. My teen sons eat alot. (Yet low carb). So I
went out to the garden. Got a head of cabbage. Shredded it, and cooked it along
with the Broccoli and Cauliflower. Added in some diced garlic. Got to looking
at the hamburger patties. Said what the hey. I cut them all up, addded it right
on in with the the vegetables. It turned out well. The concoction was
delicious. I put some saltless salt, and ground pepper on mine. Added in a
small amount of red onion. Yummy!!

I was visiting a friend earlier today. She is just starting the low carb diet.
Doing Atkins. I don't usually like yellow or green squash. The way she made it
it was really good. She used 2 medium of each. Diced onion, garlic. Then fryed
it with some butter, on low. That was really good.

I have a bunch of squash in the garden. Can't wait to use it up.

To the gardeners in here. I have tons of tomatoes. But they aren't ripening.
The weather has been cooler than the norm. High in the lower seventies. Then at
night, in the fifties and sixties. What a weird summer its been here with
weather. Any suggestions on how to get the tomatoes to ripen more quickly? I
have at least 60 huge green tomatoes, that I can see right now. The cherry
tomatoes are doing good though, they are ripening fine.

I like green tomatoes and all. But not that much. Not to use the 60 or 70 I
have in the garden. My window sills are full of green tomatoes also. Some are
turning red. Most aren't. Its the weather, has to be.

I am going to wait untl the end of August. I just don't see the tomatoes
turning red anytime soon. Its not warm enough, the sun is not out enough.

That is a great idea. I can pull all the plants, hang them upside down, along
my back porch.


I'm no gardener either, but my Dad would pull up the entire plants
bearing the green tomatoes and hang them upside-down (the whole
plant!) in the garage, and the tomatoes would eventually ripen!

Good luck!

We're having the same problem here in Indiana. (I know it HAS to be the
unusual temperatures we've been having---Indianapolis set a record low and
high of 46/low 60s yesterday!!!) I don't know what the solution is for
making them ripen sooner. I tried making fried green tomatoes using crushed
pork rinds for breading; they were only marginally satisfying.

It is the weather. It is something else isn't it. I got a cold/bronchitis thing
going on. From sleeping with the window open on the 50 degree nights.

I like fried green tomatoes alot also. Just not that much.. LOL.

I tryed atkins bake mix. The bake mix turned out a little on the clumpy side.

For the most part, you just have to wait.

In the late fall a couple or three weeks before frost, I top the
plants, remove any growing tips, and pinch off blooms or smaller
fruit. This allows the plant to put more energy into the larger
fruit. But I don't do this earlier in the growing season, as
obviously you're removing other potential harvest. If you're really
impatient and have several plants, I suppose you could try it with
one.



I think its just too chilly, the sun is not out long enough to ripen them. I am
going to wait until end of August, see what happens.

Of course the cabbage is doing great.

Thanks for the tips.
