They are literally rotting here and I feel awful! Think the food pantry will take fresh veggies or do they need FDA stamps?
It's as if my back yard is crapping tomatoes... I just can't keep up!
Gonna have lots of volunteers next year with all of them composting into the garden dirt..

I had a neighbor that used to just put the tomato in the freezer on the shelf and then stack them as they froze..
Wouldn't they explode?

No squirrels in your area they will eat them big time. Food banks should take them if they aren't to rotten.

I'll send you my cousin's Iguana he will clear out the tomatoes in 2 hours or less all you will hear is a chewing sound. He clears out her acre every season of rotten fruits and veggies. He really likes watermelon. :wah:

Not because they love me but they think my lipstick is tomatoe's or strawberry's.

Well I'm not sick of them...take fresh garden ones anyday over the junk they sell at the store...fake tomatoes:-5
For freezing just chop them up and put them in freezer bags to freeze. You can use them all year long in casseroles, chillis, soups, etc.... Works great!
You won't be able to eat them fresh like in a salad, but for cooked dishes works very well.
1. Wash, dry and roughly chop the tomatoes. Finely grate the rind from the lemons and then squeeze out the juice. Place the chopped tomatoes, lemon rind and juice, and the sugar in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Stir over medium heat for 30 minutes, or until the jam comes to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, for 1 1/2 hours, or until the jam reaches setting point. When setting point is reached, stir in the ginger and allow the jam to stand, off the heat, for 15 minutes. Remove any scum from the surface and ladle the hot jam into clean, warm jars. Seal and set aside to cool completely. The jam will keep for up to one year in a cool, dark place.
It's nice to be important,but more important to be nice.
