Tomatoes also freeze well without pre-blanching, so could be packed in bags, frozen and pulled out to make sauces, etc. when there's more time.

We give a lot of excess to home feeding programs for the elderly and poor.  They'll come and pick it up which makes it easier given how little time there is for everything anyway.

And there's always the compost pile so "waste" turns to gold (eventually).

Best wishes to all,

Karen

Well it seems that this year is the best tomato year in Kansas.  I have so many picked and ready to sell, but not enough customers.  Even large quantities at a discount price!  I am afraid to know how much I have, (at least 400 pounds!) I know I need to pick probably another 200 pounds tomorrow.

What do you do when you have too many tomatoes when lowering price doesn't work?   I guess I will be canning salsa and tomatoes tomorrow or my chickens will be happy!

We are selling tomatoes at $2.00 a pound, just FYI.

Thanks,

Jay
