Sounds like a good recipe. I don't know about everybody else up here, but we've always grown our veggies in a little greenhouse (we moved and don't have a greenhouse yet, maybe someday). We'd start heating it up with a propane heater in March. We grew tomatoes, green peppers, and several kinds of hot peppers like habaneros and some little bitty, thin red ones that I can't remember the name of. We had great crops of tomatoes; we grew 4 or 5 different types every year. I used to order seeds from Thompson and Morgan. I started everything in the greenhouse, but then moved all my flowers outside in June.
We never did can any tomatoes, maybe if we get another greenhouse we'll do that, we love salse.
