I'm about to order up some organic heirloom Italian and New Jersey (USA) tomato seeds for an early planting.

If I can keep the rabbits, deer,raccoons, Tortoises, insects, and my frikkin dogs from eating them all, I'll have plenty to make some wonderful sauces.

New Jersey, believe it or not, produces some of the best tasting tomatoes I've ever eaten! It is called the "garden state" for good reason. Mild weather and great soil....

For Don,

Well I guess I can post this as it is a picture, kind off. First is the front cover of the recipe book my wife designed (and we co-wrote) She does all the graphical work (her job area) I do all the cooking, comes with being a joint muncher:bigjoint: We created this for her Dads retirement. Trying to encourage him to cook...other than Braai's.:lol:

I have basterdised Antonios recipe (yes that is his real name) and his family are from outside Rome. This sauce is easily made with meatballs as well (just use them as the stock - instead of the sausages) You literally only need a teaspoon or so of the sauce with each helping as it goes concentrated (and that's the way the Italians eat it, not with 3 gallons of sauce and 2 bits of spag like us brits ;-)) I also splash som ewine in and add fresh herbs if I have any from the garden...






And today I spoke to the Garden Centre, and my new Greenhouse should be in place by March!!!! Just deciding on normal or safety glass (safety is 150 euro more, but if it breaks it won't fall down and chop you in half) Fresh toms for us!!!!

If they are good ones, yes they do. Some may even grow their own produce.... Look for "ramapo" tomatoes online. jersey heirlooms and a wonderful taste for a sauce.
