		<title>SETTFest 2011 a Huge Success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A new venue for our 5th annual SETTFest brought with it a much larger crowd and more tomatoes for everyone to try out!

Despite the unrelenting  heat, it&#8217;s still a great venue to hold  this event. This year, the date (June  19th, 2010)  coincided very nearly with Father&#8217;s Day.

		<title>Starting from Seed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Introduction
Once you&#8217;ve started tomato plants from seed successfully, you will probably never give a second thought to reading a How To website on the subject. Given the right conditions, tomato seedlings practically grow themselves &#8212; it really is that easy. After all, tomatoes and their wild brethren have been growing for  millions of  [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Vine Ripened Myth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A question I am frequently asked is &#8220;Should I leave tomatoes on the vine until they&#8217;re ripe for best flavor?&#8221;
Every once in a while, I will find a fully ripe tomato on the vine that I missed. This is rare, as usually the squirrels or mockingbirds eat them. What surprises me is that they don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>2009 A Challenging Year, Looking Forward to 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2009 was a rough year for growing tomatoes in S.E. Texas. Temperatures were cold for longer than expected, and then the blast furnace kicked on from April nonstop through July. It&#8217;s a wonder many of us got tomatoes at all! That said, we still had quite a turnout at SETTFest and had plenty to share [...]]]></description>

		<title>30 Minute Pasta Sauce</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first heard of making spaghetti sauce in less than 30 minutes, I was skeptical. The classic spaghetti sauces, such as Pasta Bolognese that my mother used to make took hours.

		<title>Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been making a lot of oven roasted sauce lately.  It&#8217;s an easy way to turn your excess tomato harvest into a tasty, rich sauce to enjoy throughout the year.  I originally got the idea from critterologist on Dave&#8217;s Garden, who wrote an informative and detailed article about it there. She says it [...]]]></description>
