I thought of "Whisper" because she is a little shadow of a kitten so far.<br /><br />Today I got a box of use-quickly small Plum tomatoes from Abergwili, so I will cook them up later for tomato sauce/passata. About 8 lbs of tomatoes for £1!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947599876960559348.post-66609859284994371162012-07-19T09:58:13.737-05:002012-07-19T09:58:13.737-05:00Yes you certainly can leave the skins on, if you p...Yes you certainly can leave the skins on, if you plan to put them through a sieve or something later on. The pieces of skins will roll up in tight little rolls and they will be impossible to chew. I've never tried running them through a blender to see if they'd blend right into the puree. I have a Squeeze-O and when I run tomatoes through it, it takes out skin AND seeds, but before I got that I always used one of those cone-shaped sieves on a stand and it did the job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947599876960559348.post-47368083177507268832012-07-19T02:51:41.121-05:002012-07-19T02:51:41.121-05:00So pleased to hear that the kittens are comming al...So pleased to hear that the kittens are comming along in leaps and bounds ...thanks to you.<br />Sorry i cant help with canning etc but with your heat i should imagine that you could make some sun dried toms and then store them in oil...or bottle a few whole.

I use the 'Le Parfait' system with the thin metal capsules; it seems faultless.<br /><br />My Roma toms have behaved rather oddly this year. Usually they become quite big bushes, but this year they are only about a foot tall and swamped with fruit. Must be a new variety.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947599876960559348.post-14650794780261653382012-07-18T11:26:46.365-05:002012-07-18T11:26:46.365-05:00It sounds like you are more than keeping busy, des...It sounds like you are more than keeping busy, despite the sweltering heat (I couldn't cope with that, no WAY!) Your garden is so productive. Along with many British gardeners this year, I have more or less given up on mine. If it grows, it grows, but I'm not hopeful . . . For the first time EVER, my runner beans are positively leafless and anorexic, but they do have a few more flowers on now, and the French beans (in tubs) are growing now I have used Organic safe-t-pets-and-birds slug bait. 2nd sowing of carrots (under glass, to repel slugs) have sprouted through, and ditto Spring Onions. If only I could have them in hanging baskets . . .<br /><br />Hope the kitties continue to thrive. You are SO good to them.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5947599876960559348.post-64709329406581227442012-07-18T09:10:20.287-05:002012-07-18T09:10:20.287-05:00I would think you could put the tomatoes in the ro...I would think you could put the tomatoes in the roaster. I have a Squeezo and a Kitchen Aid juicer that don't require me to peel the tomatoes before processing. I have found the best thing to do is experiment! Give the roaster idea a try and then report back to us so we all know how it works!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14189157322930654023noreply@blogger.com
