Tomato season is here
Tomato season is here
This year it's total tomato overkill in my garden - 75 plants in the greenhouse, 120 outside. 10+ cultivars

Honest question: what does everyone do with those first green tomatoes?
I get I'm fat and a woman, but don't get that.

Option 1: Fried Green Tomatoes.
Option 2: Let them ripen - tomatoes can ripen off the vine pretty well, a lot of people recommend harvesting them early to reduce chances of pests beating you to the punch.

Option 3: Garlicky pickled green tomatoes
Option 4: Green tomato chutney

Chow Chow is our traditional go to for green tomatoes. I'm really into green curry chow chow right now. Salsa Verde is also awesome as is roasted green tomato sauce.
I'm not understanding what self depreciation has to do with green tomatoes however. You should be nicer to yourself.

As long as you harvest them when they have at least a touch of yellow you can just leave them sitting them until they ripen.

Lucky, my fruit has just started setting, but it’s also not looking like a good year. Heat wave during the start and it’s been only 6c a few times the last couple weeks and they don’t like that.

Quick! Somebody give me a knife and a shaker of salt!

So jealous

What's so obvious about it? Looks like a good first harvest to me.

Don't think so. Way too consistent contours and continuing lines (the table legs on the right). Also some half hidden text that's very legible

That's a lot of tomatoes! What are you gonna do with all that?
Eat as much as possible fresh, but that's hardly going to make a dent. The rest will be turned into passata, sauces, etc. I've got a lot of jars - I've been buying by literal pallet load.
Does your household use that much tomato goods through the year? Do you sell/ give away a good portion of that?
