We Really REALLY Like Salsa

A month ago I thought I'd used up all of the canned salsa I had put up but just yesterday, as I was inventorying my canning jars, I found a box of, not just jars, jars with salsa from last summer's garden! Yes, 100% pure YUM!!! And I won't even get into the nutrition factor with all the anti-oxidents salsa has. As the title says, we like our salsa. Really.

Now my mouth waters as I look at my seedling tomatoes for this year and think about their promise of more salsa. Granted, I planted early. In years past I had to so that I'd have time to re-seed. Germination, however, has been excellent this year since I took over my basement to make a mad scientist's laboratory. I've discovered that the addition of a grow light is paying off with tall and very leafy plants. So tall, as Chris pointed out, that we're going to have a little problem. It will be a long time before our weather and the cold, saturated soil will allow me to get them outside. And, as they continue to grow, when I start to put them in the hotbed as a little nursery for conditioning to the elements, I may need to add on and build up the sides of the frame! The abundant growth is a side effect of improved sprouting conditions that I hadn't considered!

In early March, there's still plenty of time to start tomato seedlings inside. I rushed the season but how could I help it? We really REALLY like salsa. If you like salsa, try my recipe. Adjust it to taste and dig in!!!
