Hard freeze tonight. Had to gather all the tomatoes, whether green or not.


This is 68 lb. There is easily another 20 lb that I need to bring inside.

We have already processed well over 200 lb of ripe tomatoes into sauce, since August. 300 lb off of 15 plants is a good yield I’d say

    Now it’s time for green sauce. If you are what you eat, you are going to turn into a tomato.

    I’m making green tomato relish with the last of the green tomatoes in our garden. Ive done 16 pints and have about that much more.

    Pickled green tomatoes are a nice accompaniment to sandwiches and salads.

    I just did the same. Almost no red tomatoes all year because of weather, but the fall bounty is a gigantic crate of greens

    Lactoferment! It’s really easy and they taste great!

    What are the best things to do with green tomatoes?

    UPDATE: I ended up gathering 128 lb. We have already canned 6 qt of sliced green tomatoes and 6 pints of salsa verde (best I’ve ever had). More processing tomorrow…

    Well done! That is an excellent yield. 20 pounds per plant, if I did the math right. I’m always glad to hit that mark. NE Texas.

    I have read that in the past, before refrigeration, when crops were bit by frost, or if the farmers had to bring them in before fully ripe to prevent them from getting frostbit, they would pickle them in various ways. Dill isn’t the only pickle flavor out there.
