--------------32891113694AB935B8A4789F Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, George, I will ask Vivian to check at work. Thank you. Tonight is canning night. We have a couple of gallons of cleaned nectarines in the 'fridge. It's all we can do to clean them up after work, and after dinner, which means commencing at about 8 p.m., after which time we quickly run out of steam, since we are up at 5:30. BTW, the persimmons are dropping fruit in this 100 degree weather, which is quite expectable, but even if the tree drops 10-20% of its crop, we will be awash in persimmons. Good thing we have back issues of Sunset Magazine for recipe assistance:) Have you ever grown Purple Cherokee tomatoes? We lost the first three big ones because we could not tell when they were ripe. They ripened in a flash in this blast furnace and fell off in a soggy heap. Oh, well, we have those seeds for next year! Tomatoes are coming on like gang busters! I am sure we will be canning some next week...at least they don't have to be pitted as nectarines do. Have a good one. It's "off to the races."
