This is a pot of tomatoes heating up.  If I can a pot every other day for the next two weeks, I will have enough tomatoes for the Winter.  Maybe.  I will tell you how in Trish's Dishes.
As you can see...this garden is about done.
These tomatoes in the front are about done, too.  Those are the beefsteaks.  There are plenty of green ones still on there.  So...if I drape the tomatoes by the fence with plastic, I might be able to have some for at least Thanksgiving dinner.  If it stays warm...I could have it at Christmas, too.
I have waited many years to have this glut of tomatoes.  I refused to give up trying to grow them.  I am so glad I didn't quit.  They taste so yummy. 

I guess one reason why I never gave up growing them was because I KNOW what great tomatoes taste like.  Eating the ones from the store were like eating cardboard.  I was ALWAYS disappointed.  To the point where I just wouldn't waste my money on them.  Which made me sad because I LOVE tomatoes. 

NOW...I can eat all I want now...and all Winter too. 

I am really so very blessed.

Hey Trish....on the plants that still have green tomatoes on them but are ready to be pulled, pull them out whole by the roots and hang them upside down in the garage. The tomatoes will progressively ripen from the root end to the tip, and you'll have good tomatoes definitely through Thanksgiving. Last time I did this, i pulled the last ripe tomato for Christmas eve's salad
