If You Wanna Be Like Brush Ape...

I’ve got corn in my freezer and about 5/8 basket of sweet potatoes from my yard. Maters are gone. Had some jarred but I never let out of them.

They are beyond the store ones by a damn site. Burpee bred one called ‘Long Keeper’ especially for this technique. They are about the size of those pink rubber balls and as hard as marbles, but by New Years you can have something fresh still. Burpee used to ship the seed as a thank you gift with your order. And I have seen those at the seed kiosk at walmart. When I grew those in ‘92 Mom and I had a BLT on New Year’s eve. That’s when the light bulb came on. We found out last winter that you can crack open a jar of whole tomatoes and use them on tacos. Kick@$$.
My record for last ripe tomato is February 16 which was last year. Coincidently that’s the earliest I’ve ever gotten ripe ones in the greenhouse. Split a ripe one on BLTs with Dad and he about did a backflip. That was 2001.

Post this up next year ape. My brain fires poorly. But I wanna remember. I lost 6 tomato plants in a heavy rain storm. They were beauties. But I did get 10 jars or so. I use em in and on everything. But they gone lol.

I’d love to try this. Blt in November is pretty impressive. If I could hold some over longer that’d be pretty damn good

I don’t mess with hogs. I grew up with em though. I’m honestly afraid of em. And horses. Cows/bulls. They don’t bother me. Hogs. Man we had some mean ones back in the day. My cousin raises them. We killed 7 one day a few winters ago. Set up the band saw and worked ourselves to death getting everything all done up. We even made up some pretty decent scrapple. You eat it ape?
