I swear, my SunGold tomatoes have gone Ape-schnip-crazy!!! 
I can't give them away fast enough... and I think they are starting to come outta my ears,,, I have eaten so many, I am surprised I haven't turned orange yet!!
How pathetic am I,, I wouldn't let the DHL delivery guy leave with out taking a pound of them ... lol!
Anyone else got tomatoes coming outta their ears??

Mine aren't as Gung ho as yours are! I gladly take them off my friend's hands and freeze or dehydrate them. I also made stewed tomatoes and okra tonight.
Now my okra is gearing up - I may need a ladder to reach the pods at the top!

I think tonight I will slice, drizzle with olive oil and sea salt and 'roast' under the broiler for a few nano seconds, to go with tonight's Tuna fish sammies..

Yum! That sounds great!
I had cherry tomatoes coming out my ears! I gave a bag to my son -in law 3 times a week all summer and I ate a ton!
I put a kiper in each hole when I planted them like the Indians taught the pilgrims to do! The plants were a lush green and went nuts with blooms!

Grace, that is awesome! I wish my tomatoes were going crazy. I really want to make some salsa this year, but my tomatoes are just not happening. I will have to try that trick next year and see if it helps my tomatoes.

| Giving them away here in N Michigan also! By the bag, by the box. PLEASE take some tomatoes! I remember planting seeds in trays late winter/early Spring & planting “a few” extra because, you know, sometimes they don’t all survive!!! Umm . . . they did- plus some volunteers from the last year - possibly the last decade . . . |

I just picked my first two tomatoes today. I grew them in my high tunnel. The plants are around 6 feet tall.Can't wait to taste them.

Grace, what a lovely problem to have!! My mother in law is in the same boat! I have lots of tomatoes on my plants, but they are just now ripening. We've had several neighbors who have apple trees and the trees are breaking they are so loaded. We've been blessed with several bags of apples which I've been working on slowly but surely. Have some crock pot applesauce going now. Preparing to make several pies this week and can some applesauce. We may not make our annual trip to Hood River for apples this year since we already have so many. But, I'd still like too! :-)

Grace, I started getting a bunch of cherry tomatoes and couldn't keep up. So I discovered you can make sun dried tomatoes with them. I have been running a batch in my oven about every other day. I have seperated them into half a cup each and frozen them. They will work perfectly in my sun dried tomato pasta recipe. I am going to be making that recipe this week with my own for the very first time. Plus I can't help but snack on a couple as they finish in the oven!
