If you're only going to use your tomatoes for sauces and such, you don't have to can them. Chop 'em up, toss them into a food processor or blender, then freeze them. Since you'll have to reduce them at the time you use them (get rid of the excess liquid), you'll need to plan Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843459906469325667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-26230501450288000322019-07-24T23:04:17.521-07:002019-07-24T23:04:17.521-07:00The blueberry: God's food.The blueberry: God's food.Murr Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422638986410813520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-88000515328252315182019-07-24T23:03:42.569-07:002019-07-24T23:03:42.569-07:00I haven't tried beans yet.

Lots of beans and corn and squash and of course tomatoes. Now I plant tomatoes and my grandson Ben and I have to argue about which ones are the sweetest.

My Dad's garden, you could smell the tomatoes just walking up to it. The whole plant had that smell - stems, leaves. And the taste has never been equalled in my adult experience.
