Yay!!!! @acidyo dropped some love!! He is doing a live twitch stream... And I may have mentioned some green tomato chocolate cake I was eating!!!! He saw your contest and decided to 'blo it up' ;-D
So cool!!
The cake tastes mostly just like chocolate cake. Dont really notice the tomato. Now what to do with the other 50lbs of green tomatoes?

Contest sounds good! My husband is more of the gardener in our household than me, at least when it comes to dreams and plans and ideas! I just do the grunt work, haha, but we'll see what we might come up with!
Would love to join the rest of the homesteaders on Slack, but it tells me I need an administrator to add me? Can you point me in the direction of who that might be? Thanks!

Sigh don't you just love compiling a comprehensive long comment or post and then it doesn't post. Let me try again. Firstly nice pic and good work @goldendawne I like. May I post one of my previous aquaponics links in comments here as an entry or do I need to compile a whole new blog and tag garden dream? Cheer$:)
