Tomatoes Coming out of my Ears

I was fretting for a while that my tomatoes were ripening so slow and only one here and there.
Now they are non stop,sometimes 5 or 6 a day.
I have given away tomatoes to a couple people and eaten enough to not want to eat any more for a while.
I have been making batches of freezer sauce with the roma tomatoes and I guess I will make some with the big tomatoes(photo) too.I hate to because they are so big,pretty and sweet,but what are you gonna do?

Hey, if I had tomatoes coming out of my ears I'd rent my ears to an italian restaurant ......... I'm actually jealous, this neck of the woods its hard to set up a good place to actually grow many of the vegetables that lusher areas take for granted, I have to set up some kind of shaded area because our heat is so intense.

Oh my goodness! Me too! I only bought 6 tomato plants this year and have had to freeze most of them because we just have so many. I wish I knew how to can so I could make some spaghetti sauce.

my tomatoes have been slow this year too..way behind.they just now are reddening.not a whole lot this year and small,but it's probably the non stop heat.
the cucumbers are doing quite well tho.

Wow I bet they are so tasty and no pesticides too.
You will have all sorts of tomato stuff to eat now.
I would take a few off your hands if I were near lolz

What a wonderful problem to have! I've been making chutney with an overabundance of pears. Maybe something like that would work for you. You could dry them in a food dryer, as well.
