In the end I finished with well over 300 tomatos. I wanted to keep track of my peppers but after I hit over 200 I didn't keep track.

Yes.... from what have seen. Not that most people here in Canada will know what a Maltese looks like.
really...?? :confused:
You can easily pass for a Maltese IMHO.
i didn't say they sound like Arabs..i meant to say alot of the words sound like they would be Arabic...i get english accents confused sometimes too...DH loves Coronation St...i don't...but half of the time i have to ask him...''what did they say??''...LOL
did you find that maltese sounds alot like Arabic..i think it does and she doesn't think so..we aruge about it all the time...LOL..thx for the site...i'll check it out...she wants to go there again...but like DH...FIL doesn't wanna go...i would like to
They don't sound like Arabs, but then again, most people I meet, think am Australian, because of my London Cockney accent. There 3 different accents in London, the coronation street one, is not one of them :rolleyes:

I thought you said they were Italians :confused: Yeah Malta is a nice little place. Spent some time there, using the website below for most of my bargain trips

well my MIL is Maltese and her grandfather was an Admiral in the British Navy..LOL...but my sissy didn't know what to expect...her boyfriend is porkchop too..so i dunno...she's just a turd
Perhaps they mistakened it for Malta ( old british colony ), where you walk from end to the other ;)
ohhhh i'm so jealous.... :( ...my sissy went for the first time last year...the turd comes back and says 'i didn't think it was that big of an island'... :rolleyes: ...numb nuts thought that you could walk from one end of the island to the other...LOL...
My parents are there right now at their house, as it's cold in England. It's only 1.5 to 2hrs flight from where they are in England. The joys of being retired and all that ;) I have spent more time in Greece than my wife has, because she is from here, and am near to Greece back home.
I just love the place, and Cyprus, and it's close proximity with Turkey ( home of lovely ( KEBABS ) :p
i wish i could take him back...but he doesn't wanna go...i would love to go again...i haven't been there since i was 12...my parents go atleast once a year...i think they are going for the festival (Santo Christo)...in May...they also go to Venezuela 2wice a year
Him-indoors doesn't like portuguese food? I guess it's hi-time you take him on a trip to the old country ;)
actually the only time i eat them is when my mom makes them...and now that she's getting osteoporosis(sp??) in her wrists and hands...homemade are few and far between...oooh oooh what about malasadas?....i used to sit in the kitchen when my mom made them...and eat them within seconds after being takin' out of the oil...she would put them on the paper towel to drain the oil...roll them in the sugar and give them to me....it was the only time i would really eat them....LOL...i would do the same the masa (sweet bread)
oh i'm getting really hungry for portuguese food...i don't make it too much cuz DH doesn't like it... :rolleyes: ...but i always raid my parents fridge...so much stuff that i don't eat alot of anymore...so it's my treat....like the queijo and pao...and chourico
sorry if the portuguese is bothering anyone...if you wanna know what anything is...just ask...it's all food that we eat ALOT of...LOL
Yeah.....queijadas are really lovely
not crazy about queijadas ...but i do like the bacahlau....what about carne cozida com batatas?...that's my absolute favorite...when my vavo would stay with me when my parents went on vacation she would make it for me...every time...no matter how many times she made and then i tried it was never the same as hers...LOL...
I sort of dabble, but my ma is better at it obviusly. I did learn how to make the following from her perfectly though.
Queijadas de Natas
Bacalhau Com Espinha
She might be coming down here this xmas
yummmmmmm.....the hotter the better...the last bunch that my parents made wasn't as hot as they normally make....do you cook portuguese foods?...what's your favorite
did you make pimenta muieda...with some of those peppers...living in Portugal i'm sure you must of...i love that stuff...my parents make it every year....it's so good on top of bacalhau (cod) and boiled potatoes...LOL...oh i'm hungry...i need to go see my mom this weekend...LOL
how big did your eggplants get...are those the long skinny type or the plump ones?
Yes we did, and that was part of what was on the menu at the cottage over the summer
beautiful veggies...all that tomatoe sauce..i haven't done a garden in this house yet...i did get a spot ready...it's about 25 x 25 feet...i'd like to do it this year...but my outlaws do a huge garden...theirs is about 150 x 150 feet...it's frickin' huge...i usually help my FIL plant the stuff...then as the stuff is ready i get to pick as much as i want...last year i did about 40 jars of tomatoes...

I have always had a soft spot for gardening since I was a kid. My 1st degree is in environmental science, but that has nothing to do with the gardening inclination.
Spent a lot of time in the medittaranean with my parents growing up, and on my own over the years, and it always amazed me how people live off their gardens.
Don't know if I'll be doing some this summer, as we are moving to the new house when it is built.
the veggies are so bright they look fake.....im not a good gardener....mine would not look that yummy

1st link......In June this is how everything looked.
2nd link.....A month later this is how it looked.
3rd link.....My tomato plants went a little crazy on me. I think i should have had maybe 3 or 4 tops but I had 10.
Here it was in the beginning
4th link.......Here they are about 2 months in
Trust me, all that pepper found some use in the end, and a lot of it went on cooking and BBQ at the cottage over the summer.
My garden is about 5 feet x 15 feet in size.
I didn't use anything special at all which is surprising. I bascially dug up the ground and used over 50 bags of top soil and manure. I just made sure to water it every day. I only used fertilizer once and that was maybe 1 month in. I think it is was because I used all fresh new soil the garden turned out so well. I'm going to start the garden earlier next time.
I did not have any problems with pests surprisingly . Only the leaves of my eggplants were eaten up. That didn't affect the output as I still got about 7 eggplants per plant.
What would anyone do with that many peppers. Tomatoes yes but peppers man I wouldn't use that many in a lifetime. Nice garden
WOW, what the heck do you feed them? Mine never yield that much crop. We had lots of beans though last year and the kale just kept growing and growing till the first snow.
Oh, I can't wait to see that vegetable garden blooming again. :D
WOW! Inspired me to do a veggie garden!!! WOW!
