    A wonderful example of how modern technology has made growing your own food even more reasonable and rewarding. The point of evolution was to take what our ancestors did and make it better, but instead we just made some people do the farm work while the rest of us sit back. I’m hoping more and more people start to realize the tremendous benefits of home growing food.

      @@itsgonnabeanaurfromme I don’t know where this mindset comes from. Most people work 9-5s five days a week. That still leaves the morning, evening/night, and weekends. It’s not a privilege. It’s normal. I’m tired of people acting like everyone is working 24/7. If you work multiple jobs and you’re tired after working, that’s completely understandable. But don’t act like these kinds of things are some sort of “privilege” only available to rich people. If you’re lazy just say that🤷🏽‍♂️

      ⁠@@jamescampbell4751u also need to admit that this person is right, growing plants isn’t hard, u just need to plant a seed, water it and maybe fertilize the soil. Most of the intensiveness comes from the wait and harvest. After u plant the seeds it’s just a waiting game and harvesting is simple when u aren’t industrializing the process and like the short said, if u don’t have time just freeze it and figure it out later. It’s not as big of a privilege as u think it is, heck u can do it in pots in an apartment. The only way u can’t is if u are in deep poverty, which is not the majority, so it’s may not be a privilege to some, but most have it.

      @@MayorOfLuckyBoyNV So everyday you are doing laundry or going to the doctor? Like I said, being tired and wanting to rest is completely normal, but 30 less minutes of sleep everyday would equate to 7 hours in two weeks. So this whole “I don’t have time excuse” is really bizarre to me. I’m sorry but I absolutely reject and rebuke the notion that having free time is somehow a “privilege”.

    Back in the 70s when my family had a garden we didn't do canning....we blanched & froze everything ! The tomatoes were done a little differently. We cut them crosswise and dump out the seeds, then when used for sauce, it was clean. ( Also, re dried the seeds for planting the following year.} Glad to see the younger generation keeping the craft ❣

    You can also harvest them earlier on the vine so they ripen on the table there's a stage in which they are going to get his ripe as they will whether you take them off then or later. Allegedly you lose some flavor with putting tomatoes in cold settings like refrigerators and freezers it turns off some enzymes permanently but it is probably not very much

    How do you either prevent or fix the acidity in tomatoes? I baked some cherry tomatoes with olive oil, bell peppers and feta and then blended it up and oh my god it was almost inedible with how acidic it was.
    About half of the tomatoes weren’t fully ripe but they were deep orange so I don’t know if that had an effect, but even after adding some of my keto sugar (which helped slightly) I still couldn’t eat it.
    So I’m curious if I can even make a keto tomato sauce that’s actually good. Maybe it’s just the tomato variety?
