No help from me. I don't do anything with my tomatoes except eat them fresh and give them away to friends and to the entire neighborhood.
Ditto. Last year, I gave my surplus 'maters to ANYONE who would take them!! Not the postman (he said he had his OWN surplus problem!), met all my new neighbors in a 1 block radius (my garden helkper got HIS neighbors in addition), the maintenance men and landscapers (for my property management co.) helped me out by taking some when they'd stop by, my Granny took several sacks over to HER neighbors, took 2 big sacks full to my doctor's appointment for the stuff, but when my neighbors started not answering their doors and I found myself chasing a property mgt truck (to give them 'maters). . . . I got frustrated and piled all dem surplus 'maters in a big basket, stuck a labeled card on the side ("FREE. . . Organic Tomatoes from my Garden") and plopped it atop the community mailboxes at my Granny's condo complex. By the time I had parked down the street, a little ol' lady in a housecoat & curlers was waving while collecting some tomatoes!
THIS year, aside from delivering to those of my neighbors who're retired and/or disabled. . I plan on skipping right to the ol' basket atop those mailboxes!!!
