Are Your Tomatoes Making You Crazy?
We planted six tomato plants. They are coming in like crazy!! I dried some in the oven this morning but I think I had the temp too high, 250 and maybe should have been 200, so they didn't turn out as well as last year. But I have enough to make more. I like eating them for snacks.
What do you do with your tomatoes?

I live in Oregon, our growing season is so short I never have to many. Yes, I have heard rumors of gardeners in this area over producing but never actually met anyone. Almost sure to many tomatoes in the Pacific Northwest is an Urban Myth. Your "problem" comes under the heading of BLESSING.

If I have tons, I wash and dry my ripe tomatoes and pop a freezer bag full of them. They get like rocks in the the freezer but when I want to do stewed tomatoes, I drop the frozen tomatoes into boiling water for a few seconds and then into a bowl of water in the ink. The skin peels right off and I chop them up and put them in a pot to cook. Add all my spices and onions and let them simmer away.

We eat tons of salad when the tomato and cuke's are ripe. Right now we have a good amount of both. Last week for the first time I made freezer pickles. At the end of the season when we still have green tomatos on the vine and a frost warning ... I'll pick the green ones and pickle them "freezer pickle" style. I'm not into canning the old fashioned way, so when a friend introduced me to freezer pickles I was overjoyed!!
