Hi Jess, My husband and I have been following you and have learned so much by your blogs. We also live in Arkansas. We are new to homesteading and gardening. I am in the process of getting goats and rabbits but for now we have ducks, we raise Brahma chickens, and geese. We also grow elderberry on our land. Until next time Tasha

I ALWAYS freeze mine right off the vine. It is how my grandma and Oma(great-grandma) did it. They had dedicated freezers just for the tomatoes. So I never even knew how to skin them with out freezing them. Now I understand why my grandmas did the freezer. When you have 8 kids. You dont have time to process fresh tomatoes 10 times a summer. My husband calls my tomatoes in the freezer. Tomato rocks. I love the flavor of the frozen ones. It saves all the juice and flavor instantly. They are so good. I would love to walk through your garden and smell all the dirt and flowers and plants in the air. It is so pretty.

I love canning my tomatoes during the winter. It warms the house during processing. It does not change the flavor and it's so very easy with the tomatoes peeling themselves while thawing out. I then dry the skins to make tomato powder to mix with everything.

Ive been enjoying your weekly garden tours! I’ve taken away so much from them, but most importantly the fact that it’s okay and NORMAL for your garden to not look perfect all season long and that it’s totally normal to not have plants do so well. I’ve always been so hard on myself when my plants die and I tend to see all of the negative things happening in the garden. You are so positive and grateful for what your garden gives you and the way you talk about the beauty of your garden reminds me to be more grateful and appreciative of what I’ve managed to grow. Thanks for the consistent tours this summer!

Put your chickens in the garden too to clean it up and fertilize.. it worked awesome for us this year. Grew 2x as much as ever before.

All of those tomatoes look so yummy! My first round didn’t handle so well and the plants ended up dying so when I heard you mention a second summer harvest before the first frost I went ahead and started more sweetie cherry tomatoes. They sprouted and we’re so cute but then yesterday I wake up to find that the birds had eaten them! 😭 I cried a little. It reminded me of Matthew 6:26 and how God cares for the birds and us also even more. I’m happy to have helped our wonderful bird population because I enjoy watching them fly and sing, I just wish they would have pecked at the other plant starts I had...I guess they don’t like baby Kale too much. 😂 thank you for sharing your garden successes and losses with us.

There is another way to easily skin your tomatoes. It’s called a "Victorio strainer". Victorio used to be the brand but now other companies are making them. They are so cool. You put the tomatoes into the funnel at the top. Then crank the handle. The tomato pulp goes down the chute into a bowl and the seeds & skin go out the end of the seive into a different bowl. This is done in minutes. No kidding. I’ll never do it by hand again. The strainers aren’t too expensive. Some are cheaper than your vegetable hod! You can also use the strainer for fruits like grapes & berries.

The pups swipe them green right off the plant, lay down in the shady grass at devour them. Needless to say, should have fenced them in much sooner..

I too freeze whole raw tomatoes when I don't have time to process, or don't have enough ripe ones to make a batch. I wash and core them (cut the stem end out, going down maybe 1/2" to 3/4") and put them in gallon Ziploc bags. When I want to use them, I let them partially thaw in the bag, then the skins slip right off -- no need to put in water. I think taking the stem out ahead of time makes this easier. Then I crush them by hand and put in sauces, soups, chili, etc. Works great! Thank you Jess for who you are and all you do. I so enjoy your videos.

Getting ready for Fall planting here also. I'm in Missouri so we plant about the same time. My beans didn't do well at all with all the heat. I am planning on doing some rattle snake beans. They do well in the south in the heat so thought I would give those a try. And I also just did cuttings off my tomatoes for fall. My black brandy wines got blight and spread to my Cherokee purple but I still got a pretty good crop. Cherokee is my favorite slicer. I will be saving some seeds from those but not from my garden. Lol. My grandson is growing them also he is 14. It's the only tomato he has there so saving from his. No cross. He planted where an old chicken coop had been before they bought this land. He has some huge tomatoes. He did nothing but water. And he didn't get blight. I used cow poop that had been milk barn clean out and had set with lime on it. And I fertilized. His still are better then mine. I may have to get chickens lol. Can't wait to see your fall garden. Hugs

Have you tried cutting up tomatoes into chunks, placing them on a greased baking sheet, putting a bit of oil, salt and fresh cracked pepper on them then roasting them in a 400f oven until caramelized? They can be put in a blender with chicken stock, red pepper flakes and roasted garlic to make a tomato soup. I store the roasted tomatoes in the freezer and then take them out whenever I want soup all winter.

It is a challenging time in the garden, it is hot and dry and I have to accept what I didn’t get done this year, and figure out what to do with too many summer squash, and keep anxiously awaiting ripe tomatoes. Pacific Northwest gardening is not for impatient people! I have frozen the tomatoes straight from the vine with a good rinse, and I don’t even peel them later, if I am using in soup I just thaw them and run them through the blender. It is a life saver if you have lots of tomatoes at one time. Your garden is lovely.
