I love Italian food.....here's a pic of a recent meal in Revello, Italy..

Me gots a real feta-fetish....too bad it's usually so salty.

 

[Luana]

Bina, as long as you have a whole piece of feta, you can rinse to get rid of some of the saltiness. If you can get feta from a decent ethnic market, it's usually pretty good.

Yes, I get a solid chunk soaked in brine, and I do take out a piece and press it into paper towels before using it.
My feta is right from the Greek cheese factory in our area. (I know the goats personally) lovely white Saanens.

My wife has been on this kick to grow them upside down. They've failed everytime she's tried, so this time, she planted it right side up, but didn't support it. found it in the grass a few feet away from the bucket today. She replanted it, but I don't know if it's going to go again or not.

Ross, I love feta cheese! It sounds delicious. I think I'll try it.

Ross, that's funny but methinks you may have meant supported from top with a string vs. upside down, or normal staking from ground method. Lately have seen them growing in hanging pots though, which may be what you meant.
Yes tomato is a pretty dumb pant and does not have suffcient stem to support itself and it becomes even worse with heavy fruit...usually needs cage and staking cause you do not want fruit close to the ground.
Note a beautful tomato plant is a poor producer, defoliated plants produce more and better fruit cause air and water in earth is primary growth medium, foliage does not like to be wet.
But have fun with it, fun hobby and even better when it produces fruit, enjoy...too bad you are not closer, will likwly have more than I need in a few weeks and would glady have shared.

You may want to get to nursery for replacement, 2nd start not usually successful

It's not filling, so don't think your appetite is going to get ruined. It's a tasty snack to tie you over until you figure out what you really want.

Gil she plants them in something like this, but it's actually a 5 gallon paint bucket with a hole cut in the bottom for the plant to be fed through. We did get 1 whole tomato last year before a storm ruined the thing.

 

[Luckyguy17]

Experimental procedure, sheeesh, rookies

Yep use the 5 gallon, punch/drill holes 3-4 inches from botton to drain excess water, 8-10 inches of good soil, plant plant, add tomato basket and 1-2 stakes, place in area with some sun to keep foliage dry, watch grow, pluck excess greenery, water during drought and voila, 15-40 fruit or more likely in late July,

1stmthod is exprimental, sort of like a mech valve, 2nd method is time /tested proven formula, like a bio valve

Oh, Lord, will you send me some? Sounds wonderful. I love goats. Just looked up Saanens and found this: "The Saanen temperament is as a rule, calm and mild mannered; breeders have been know to refer to them as living marshmallows."

One whole tomato? Wow, impressive yield.
