MORE tomatoes (2nd picking!)

[Carol Dee]

This is only the 2nd picking. I put up 12 quarts with the 1st picking. I put up 9 quarts tonight and have MORE than those to do tomorrow. And many almost ripe on the vine. I TOLD DH he planted too many! Both times they have been ready he has been out of town.

Seems to me, your DH's timing is a bit suspicious... Those tomatoes look so good!

Nice! I am up to my eyeballs in tomatoes right now too.

I agree 100%

That is a HAUL!!!! Congrats on the super successful harvest.

I've put up a bunch of just plain diced tomatoes & onions to use later in the year. But last night I canned 6 pints of bruschetta
I can't wait to try it.

So far I have only put up diced tomatoes in the freezer. Running out of room, I may have to get the canner out. (Now that it is nearing 100 degrees.) ugh

Great harvest Carol Dee! I've had about 6 ripe tomatoes so far.
Oh wait! I forgot about the two handfuls of cherries!

@Carol Dee I'm jealous! That's a wonderful crop! The thought that your DH may have planned his departure this way did cross my mind... If it's hot and dry by you now try to sun dry some?

@Carol Dee those tomatoes look terribly rotten to me. Better ship them to TEXAS so you don't get sick from eating them! I am sure I can find something to do with them......

Really, those are some bodacious tomatoes! Beautiful! If you don't have a dehydrator, you should get one, I love mine! But I didn't get enough garden to even turn it on this year. Dehydrated tomatoes make a good snack, are great to cook with, are yummy crumbled up on salads.....
