Thanks for posting. Pulled most of the last of the Butternut Squash and tomatoes by the end of Oct. due to predicted below freezing temps, about 40 squah and 150 tomatoes, but have been seeing the toms ripen since, and eating them, thank God. Still better than supermarket ones.

They say you can hasten ripening buy putting them, in a paper bag with a yellow banana, but we are in no rush. Should have enough to go into Dec. I gave some to a neighbor, and the ice cream truck driver - who loves them and he gave me a couple treats. Praise the Lord.

Quite a contrast of before and after (two different gardens):

Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. (Psalms 103:1-5)

Just pull the whole plant, tomatoes and all, and drape it (them) over a rack in the cellar where it is cool and dark. Good until Christmas. at least. To save space, wrap each undamaged tomato in tissue or newspaper and store them in a box where it's cool.

We picked the tomatoes before frost and just laid them out on the floor of the back porch, canning them as they ripened, a few jars at a time. Fed my family, six of us, all year, fresh or canned. Never bought tinned tomatoes. Grew peppers and made chili sauce with them, too. I guess they call it "salsa" in the stores nowadays.

Looks good brother. I’m hoping to plant some stuff in spring. It’s all better than the stuff you get from the store.

Yes, I really enjoy letting the green tomatoes ripen and eating them. They do taste a lot better than Grocery tomatoes.

Awesome tomatoes! What are your secrets. It is so weird, I have been having trouble getting a nice yield.
