Gardening Hints and Tips

Since some of us like to eat, the "Fresh Stuff." Thought I would remind all, take those green tomatoes, as the plants are dying off, wrap them in newspaper, put in a brown paper bag, and check them every few days for ripened ones. You can eat them as they ripen, for at least a couple months. We store ours in the basement, where it is cool.

Cherry tomatoes: got an over abundance of them, wash off, put in zip lock bags, and put in freezer. Then this winter when making vegetable soup, add some to it. They still have that fresh taste to them.

Wife also chops up chives, and the long slender onions, and puts in freezer, to use when making meals.

We freeze large tomatoes. When you use them just get what you need out of the freezer and let them thaw a little and the skins slip off real easy.
