Unfortunately another little creature got to them, our two year old who decided to harvest her little heart out a bit too early. Now we're waiting for more blooms. :) Hopefully we'll be able to use more of your ideas next year.Archna Sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14838906796617874529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226513677340811746.post-32608209094901482742012-08-04T03:52:03.566-07:002012-08-04T03:52:03.566-07:00I had started tomato plants from seeds this year. ...I had started tomato plants from seeds this year. They were doing well until I transplanted them to bigger containers, just waiting to put them outside. They all died on me. : (<br />I'll try again next year, but will start them out in bigger containers, so there will be more room to grow when starting out.<br /><br />You can flash freeze tomatoes. Wash them and cut out the cores. Place them on cookie sheets and put them in the freezer. Depending on the size, I think no more than 1 - 1 1/2 hours worked fine for me. Then put them in recloseable bags and store in the freezer until future use in sauces and chilies.<br /><br />I've made salsa in the past, which my husband and son ate up until it was gone. One year I canned over 50 quarts of salsa and it didn't last through the whole winter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226513677340811746.post-69512011135485802212012-08-03T12:22:51.471-07:002012-08-03T12:22:51.471-07:00BLTs!
