Finally able to pick my first tomatoes that I could keep in a couple of weeks. We have had so much rain until now that I was having problems with blossom end rot. Finally was able to get to Lowe's the other day and get some powdered lime. Put it down and the tomatoes are looking better.
Unfortunately, I picked them and don't have enough to do much with them but there are too many to eat before they go bad. A couple of years ago someone told me to freeze them. I tried it and it worked well. That is what I am going to do with them this AM. I will wash and core them. Next, I will remove the bad spots and then throw them in freezer bag and into the freezer. Next time I can I will pull them out to thaw and then use them with the rest of the tomatoes in whatever I am canning. This way they won't go to waste.
Hope your tomatoes are producing well for you. If you don't have any hope you are taking advantage of the ones at your local farmers market.
