I'm in 7a. Rhode Island Massachusetts border.
What exactly are they doing? Are blossoms setting but not fruiting? No blossoms? Green fruit not ripening? Growing tomatoes is my favorite summer pass time and I'm in the same zone, maybe I can offer some assistance?
Green but not ripening. All that has changed in the last few days! What’s your sauce recipe?
Ha ha ha, I'm not the OP. My sauce recipe is whatever I find on the internet, I'm more into growing them than eating them lol
What have your daily afternoon temps been? High 80s into the 90s? Are your plants in full sun during the hottest parts of the day?
Make tomato jelly. Trust me.
I want some 🤤
I've slowly been making sauce or salsa (mostly sauce due to jalapeno shortage) in batches of 5-10lbs of Roma tomatoes over the last month. I finally bought a food mill. Happy saucing!
Beautiful. Now some chicoree, hard boiled eggs, fresh cracked pepper, salt and home made mayo.
I just finished canning a some bruschetta!
Thought those were cherry tomatoes. Good lord are you going to have a lot of ridiculously delicious sauce. Anyone have any tips on storage? When freezing, I notice that most herbs lose their potency, including garlic. I haven’t attempted to can tomato sauce before, but canning tomatoes has been a decent option for extending the length of freshness.
For years now I have just Frozen the tomatoes and then defrosted them all at once but it was time to do canning. I've noticed zero changes in taste.
