from Backwoodswife on 03/02/2015 01:57 AMWe freeze, can and dry them, eat alot of salsa and give alot away to friends! I plan on doing about 150 plants in all.
This year I am going to try freezing some, skins and all fresh from the garden, I usually blanch them first but have read fresh works really well. Anyone try this before? About 4 years ago we began freezing our other veggies (beans, turnips, summer squash, etc...) without blanching first, I am so happy we did! They last all winter and taste better than they did when we were going through all that work to blanch them!

from zackey on 02/28/2015 09:14 PMWow! What do you do with 90 plants worth of maters?
Re: What Tomatoes are you growing this year
from Backwoodswife on 02/28/2015 04:20 PMIt would have been an easier question to ask what I wasn't growing this year, Lol. I'm doing 90 different varieties
this year, 19 of which are cherry. I probably bit off more than I can chew, ha ha. but I couldn't help myself 
I'm really looking forward to the black mauri (moor) and the Russian black, I also find some cherries to be sweet. Hoping one of these will do it for me this year:) Socalgardegal, if you would like to try the black mauri let me know I have extra seeds of these. I also noticed you had Vorlon seeds, have you grown these?

from socalgardengal on 02/26/2015 06:30 PMHave you tried the ones you are growing gvozdika? Just curious about the taste. Some of the newer varieties are a bit to sweet for me.
