    Great job on your healthy tomato’s! Look into canning, I use my tomatoes all winter in soups stews casseroles and pastas

    I freeze mine and turn them into sauce throughout the year

    I’m jealous of your problems with having too many tomatoes. But they do look amazing and healthy. Nice job!

    If you have too many, food banks will take them.

    Look at that beautiful healthy foliage! What part of the world are you in?

    Part of the fun is giving some away. Make friends and greet neighbors. But yeah sauces are fun to make. Every recipe you use will have tomatoes added into it somehow.

    Pasta sauce to freeze, tomato chutney/pickle or relish, ketchup. Or as someone else suggested…food bank 🙂

    I’m very jealous! What type of paste tomatoes did you plant??? They and the eating tomatoes look amazing.

    I’m in PA too and don’t have nearly this much fruit. So jealous!

    What a nice problem to have 🙂 Your plants look amazing – Congrats on your bounty!

    I planted 10 planta and I don’t have close to half of what you have. I don’t think you made a mistake planting plants, I think you just did a REALLY good job growing tomatoes!

    It also seems to be a big year for tomatoes in general! Preserve what you don’t give away👍🏻

    Yup my pool and lawn guy got a bucket every week! And my whole office lol. I had 25 plants

    We grow 6 or so san marzanos every year and they tend to ripen in batches. We cook them down into a basic sauce with just basil salt and pepper and then freeze that in silicone molds. 4 of them fit perfectly in a gallon freezer bag. Convenient to make anything and tastes great.

    I sauce mine and freeze the sauce. Anytime I freeze a whole tomato, it tastes rubbery to me once it thaws.

    I don’t believe there is such a thing as too many tomatoes

  24. HopDropNRoll

    I just started gardening last year, if someone showed up with a basket of those I’d be THRILLED!!

  27. theinfotechguy

    I can smell the leaves from here after you rustled them up
