By on My mother used to grow “low acid” tomatoes because high acid gave her mouth cankers, or so she thought. There is concern that canning low acid tomatoes causes botulism. Lots of seed companies and garden blogs talk about low acid tomatoes and usually identify yellow, orange and small fruited varieties as low acid. Some claim that modern breeding has increased the acidity of tomatoes and that heirlooms have less acid. Others claim that there is no such thing as low acid tomatoes. It turns out that this story starts as a myth, and then people tried to correct the myth and ended up creating a new myth. I’ll have to debunk the debunkers.

By on Artificial Intelligent (AI) programs have been all the rage for a couple of years now and they are being used more and more by gardeners to get their information. They are easy to use. Just enter a question and an answer appears. That is a lot easier than doing a Google search and having to read through blogs to get the information, but is it a better way? And most importantly, is the information correct. Here are Garden Myths we don’t accept every answer, even if it is from AI, so we decided to do some testing. NOTE: Since I published this post – some people have been getting errors saying he site is not safe and may have a virus – I have checked it several ways and it doesn’t have one. In an effort to try and resolve the problem, I have removed all the links in this post. Does AI Provide Good Gardening Information?

I was introduced to “peppering” in a recent post in our Facebook Group, Garden Fundamentals, and had to have a closer look. If this thing works, it would be a cure for just about every pest problem in the garden.

It is commonly believed that home grown food is more nutritious than store-bought food. That organically grown food is more nutritious than conventionally grown and that heirloom varieties are more nutritious than modern day varieties. Is any of this true? What can you do to improve the nutrition of your home grown food? How to Grow Nutrient Dense Food, source: JerzyGorecki —————- Read More —————- If you like this post, please share ....... FacebookTwitterPinterestEmailShare This entry is filed under Uncategorized and tagged Nutrient Dense Food. | 10 Comments 18 FOOD SAFETY MYTHS FOR THE HOME GARDENER By on The CDC has reported that 46% of all foodborne illnesses are due to fresh produce. One out of every six Americans that will get a foodborne illness this year. “For historical perspective, fresh produce was linked to less than 1% of all foodborne illness in the 1970s, and less than 12% in the 1990s. Why is foodborne illness from produce on the rise?” Part of the increase is due to better detection, but it is also due to increased use of fast food and a more complex food production/delivery system. Food that we buy in local stores has passed through many hands from farm to table and each step is a possible source of contamination. Another problem is that more people are growing their own food and they incorrectly believe that home grown food is safe. In this post I will have a look at a number of myths about foodborne illnesses and how you can prevent them.
