Your garden is a wonderland! Would your sweet wife share her sauce recipe?
And your suspicions about @seedcorn are well founded. I saw him skulking around your melon patch in his garden ninja outfit when I was planting eggplants in your peppers, KOFF! when I was doing some research....

That seems very simple do you have to skin tomatoes ?

 

[majorcatfish]

hot water bath to loosen the skins and then a ice water bath to peel them.....

In one of your first pictures of tomatoes there are some yellow leaves in the top right hand corner. Is that blight? Some of my leaves look like that.

@majorcatfish i thought that they looked like paste tomatoes. I have 20 Roma in garden but no fruits that size. I may try them next year.

There is a Federal Standard of Identity for anything called mayonnaise. They all (remembering my 40 yr old MS food science details) are a min of 65% oil and then there is a mandatory and voluntary list of remaining ingredients. Maybe Dukes uses more oil than Hellmans (which is only east coast - its Best Foods on the west coast).

btw: Salad dressing (miracle whip style) has a minimum of 35% oil in the Fed std of Identity.

Is it Dukes or Hellman's that is only East coast? We have Hellmann's here in IA, My husbands go to Mayo. (He will not eat anything else!)

Have you ever thought of setting up a table at end of driveway with a honesty box and sell your produce ?
