roast peaches on pork loin (actually any fruit on roast pork loin) with the fruit also making it into the onion base in the roast pan. BBQ peach is not bad with vanilla ice cream

Been doing "best" garden hose research and have not found one that seems like a good investment. The non-kinking types seem to kink, the non-leaking types seem to leak, and the "you can drink water" types produce mold!
From what I can tell the "Eley" comes with a good batch of over 3,000 reviews. A 50' model costs $121 which seems expensive but with a 10-year guarantee, maybe not that bad.
Would like to hear your experiences and suggestions, please.

Sounds awesome, but... Fish is really the only meat I eat unless I'm eating something someone made for me/I'm a guest. I bet someone here will enjoy that though

Have you experienced excessive, pressure, build-ups to the point of blowing off attachments?
That salsa is very good...
However
Not as good as a Peach Crisp...
Which is the best thing to do with fresh peaches.
Serve slightly warm with Vanilla Ice Cream...
Just sayin'...
Peaches are great no matter how you have them.
Indeed they are. Years ago, I knocked on the door of an older lady to ask for permission to fish on her property on the Yakima.
She had a peach tree in her front yard and always insisted that I take some peaches with me when I was done fishing. I did that for years and they were incredible. By far the best peaches I've ever eaten. Haven't fished there in years, but I always thanked Dorothy for the great treats when I was done fishing.

We have high water pressure, just short of needing reduction. I don’t see how a hose would contribute to this however.
Regardless, we have had no issues with attachments even with higher water pressure. Other hoses have developed bulges near the hose end connections over time however.

Dug some primitive carrots this morning
I mentioned a while back that in addition to planting tomatoes in my little cold frame greenhouse, I put a couple plants in one of my raised beds, exposed to the elements. Being a hot dry summer, these plants greatly outperformed the ones in the greenhouse. Yesterday I picked a bunch more tomatoes, and after these few days of rain, several almost fully ripe tomatoes have split. Is this common when tomatoes get rained on? And if so, does this mean I need to pick the rest of the tomatoes slightly before they are fully ripe and put them on the window sill to finish ripening?
Split tomatoes can go bad whether inside or outside, rain can cause splitting, as do other things generally having to do with too much water at once.
Roast, cook or otherwise use split tomatoes in short order, otherwise fruit flys, mold and such is in your near future

Splitting during consecutive uncontrolled “watering” is common. Late in season the tomatoes job is to create seed they excelerate growth to ripen even in diminished ambient temperatures. i have remay fabric handy to put up a hoop covering that allows rain to water them and hang an incandescent light bulb(75 watt) to provide a wee bit more enclosure warmth… dry mulch can also be placed around the plants base. That is how I extend my season for those late season whoppers trying to ripen

Apples are for the kids and occasional desserts, level up with a cider press, then fermentation equipment.
I forage a bunch of apples off old trees, and press them, but haven't gone too far down the fermentation road yet.

Putting food by?
Well i spent hours yesterday making a green tomato chutney with a ton of ingredients . It was an American style one . Thought it was boring so used a lot of fancy ingredients cutting everything uniform… all the brown sugar,nice balsamic vinegar , ground coriander i saved from the garden and ground, mustard and white sesame i ground, mango, apple garden peppers and a bunch of other ingredients i have since forgot. Which is good because this can never be repeated! …then i thought(the primary error), having looked at an Indian green tomato chutney recipe i thought i would create a hybrid of the recipes. 4 hrs of work, 3 hrs in a stainless vat on simmer to reduce it…then i tasted it. And i thought of a name for it. “Old Sweatpants Chutney”
I just got done dumping the 10 pint jars into the compost bin.
Stick to the recipes dummy…he said.

Planted about 150 garlic on Monday and this morning I found about a dozen dirt piles where something dug around. I saw a squirrel running across the bed. Not sure he ate or just buried something. The lil shits made a mess. Gonna put some wire mesh over them till they sprout. Never had that issue before with garlic.
