Boy, this stuff grows like a weed! http://www.fototime.com/25EB8789229633C/standard.jpg After 9 days: http://www.fototime.com/81C13A0AA18FBAD/standard.jpg Took =Mark's advice and gave it a 14" haircut: http://www.fototime.com/6D525E24FF33A40/standard.jpg Now to learn how to use it. I remember someone telling me that the flavor gradually fades if canned. Another thing I am not good at is using new and different spices. I'm basically a sweet/sour/hot/salt/pepper guy. I've 3/8" diced 7 lbs (net) fresh rhubarb from my visit last week to Minne-so-tah, 1 lb 6 oz green bells, 1 lb 10 oz sweet Vidalia onions, 7 oz orange manzanos from Beth in TX and pureed 2 lbs strawberries. Still to do is celery. Expect will take aprox 2 cups cider vinegar for proper acidity ratio so can water bath can. Going to need some sugar and salt and? Always open to suggestions from you foodies on what to put in my salsas. jt
