The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner can carry about 250 passengers. This blog was viewed about 1,500 times in 2012. If it were a Dreamliner, it would take about 6 trips to carry that many people.

Light frost three days in a row in my garden gave me with the imperative to harvest the last of the peppers, a very few beans, and a trio of green tomatoes.
Multi-colored peppers and purple and green bean, a trio of green tomatoes mark the end of warm weather garden
Bells red, green, purple, and yellow turning make me smile.
Sweet mild peppers plentiful and bright
Season’s right to warm up with Sweet Potato Pie!

Modern wheat a “perfect, chronic poison,” doctor says
(…)(CBS News) Modern wheat is a “perfect, chronic poison,” according to Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist who has published a book all about the world’s most popular grain.
Davis said that the wheat we eat these days isn’t the wheat your grandma had: “It’s an 18-inch tall plant created by genetic research in the ’60s and ’70s,” he said on “CBS This Morning.” “This thing has many new features nobody told you about, such as there’s a new protein in this thing called gliadin. It’s not gluten. I’m not addressing people with gluten sensitivities and celiac disease. I’m talking about everybody else because everybody else is susceptible to the gliadin protein that is an opiate. This thing binds into the opiate receptors in your brain and in most people stimulates appetite, such that we consume 440 more calories per day, 365 days per year.”(…)

He goes on, “What we found is that the molecules created in this wheat, intended to silence wheat genes, can match human genes and through ingestion these molecules can enter human beings and potentially silence our genes.”

They’re in the jars and the freezer boxes too! Despite not quite enough rain and the early summer heat in the 100’s in June and July I was blessed with plenty to store for later. I really like the different colored tomatoes, each has it’s own wonderful flavour characteristics.
Color, color. Colour, colour!
Sampling of a day’s pickings including the Pink Brandywines which it turns out really are as big as the package picture! Quite the handful were these.
I kept some separate by color, but also mixed several jars with all the different colors just because………
It was a good tomato year! It made me tired and very happy many summer days to put them away for the many uses we find in our always cooking kitchen.
Happy gardener in straw hat, glad to be all done with this year’s tomato crop, don’t you just love it when you take a fuzzy glary picture like this that reminds you of how young you are inside?
But still there are plenty late tomatoes for everyday fresh eating!
