I could live on BLTs my entire life.
The best tomatoes are grown organically, and you have to grow the right types.
Some are too non-acidy, most on the market in stores - have a tough skin, etc, to not bruise in shipping,
they are stored in a gas to keep them from ripening, then they put in another gas to make them ripen.
They taste like red blah.

Best tomatoes I ever had in my life were when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, N.C. and went to a local farmers market in a small town near there. No mushiness, perfectly ripened and so tomatoey (if that's a word) you could just put your nose in the bag and breath in tomato.

Best are usually in late June/July, early August (the locally grown).

Early Girls are a long time favorite hybrid that is one of the first to ripen.
the sunsugar cherry tomato is a gigantic hit. I like to take those, and others, split em and dehydrate em into "raisins"
and eat them during the winter. Same thing with blueberries.

Do you grow your own blueberries or do you use wild ones? My wife's sister had a cabin on a lake in Maine and we were canoeing around the lake picking wild ripe blueberries off vines that came down to the water's edge. Ate about half right there and took the rest back every day for fresh blueberries every meal and fresh wild blueberry pie and cobbler. Damn that was great stuff!

no, our soil isn't as acidic - tried to plant and add acid- didn't work well at all. Neighbor to my brother-in-law 45 min away - he has a large
blueberry farm. Gives us a lower price per lb. That is excellent stuff. Very healthy, too. We have about 300 stawberry plants in the upcoming third year. Wanted to sell some of em, but we like them so much - forget that. Have wild blackberries, rasberries, a mulberry tree. Add some blueberries - would make a great jam.
The most interesting berry is a tomato ! It's called a husk tomato, and also ground cherry. A crazy tropical fruit/pineapple flavor. I made jam out of those, that rocked. I haven't tried making a pie out of them. It is very sweet - and is a member of the tomatillo family.
Love these, too. They make excellent "raisins" dehydrated.

We have dewberries and wild grapes down here. My grandmother used to make jams out of both from their small farm many years ago. Wish I had learned her secrets back then. She would seal each jar with wax on top of the jam before putting on the lid. Her theory was that it preserved the jams for longer than the lid alone. Is that a process you use too?

My grandmother on my mother's side made homemade jams with the wax on top also. She also made some killer coconut creme, apple and lemon merangue pies.

I know about it - but don't use wax. Found wild grapes out back in our woods - makes some freaking AWESOME grape juice.
You have to be certain it's wild grapes, and not a poison look alike. The poison ones all have one half-moon seed in them.
Both grow on a vine, though.

Who moderates this cesspool?
To abuse that power by tagging a tread title... even in an attempt to be humorous as was done here... is unconscionable.
Their moderation should be revoked.

Well it seems that some folks are easily offended. Unfortunate but that's how it is. I would imagine the same people who are upset that I put a snarky remark on a snarky and useless post have never complained about certain posters having their screen names edited and to homophobic slurs. You guys on both sides of the political Spectrum realize that I let guys do what they want within reason. Even the most obnoxious member here was booted without any input from me.
By the way outrage boy my little FU graphic was meant as a joke. I don't think I've been actually angry at anyone here.
