Tom....are you not able to have more than one 4x4 bed?

Yes I have room for a lot more planting, but am just starting out, and want to keep it simple.-Tom

Simplest way to deal with tomatoes is to wash them off, slice in quarters, put in plastic freezer bag and freeze them. When thawed the skins slip right off and you can use them in stews, chile, salsa-whatever.
