In all, only a few went bad before I got to them. It was really wonderful to be able to unwrap a tomato or two daily long after the tomato plants had died in the garden. Now all I have are frozen tomatoes for use over the winter months. I'm sure they'll soon be gone, too.

Store-bought tomatoes just don't compare. I never tried freezing tomatoes; I always canned mine. Freezing sounds lots easier.
Alice, many moons ago when I had a large garden I purchased all the canning equipment and prepared myself to put up many shelves of garden delectables. I don't remember what year it was but it was at this time that the county extension service started promoting freezing instead of canning. The hot pack method of canning was still widely used and they were attempting to steer people away from this. I'm sure I still have their booklet on freezing produce around here somewhere, there were only a few that they didn't recomend freezing because of what it did to the thawed results.
They never last long enough, do they?
No they don't, Anita. It would be nice to have a greenhouse. Check out THIS greenhouse...

I would love to do this.
What a cool idea, nothing better then garden tomatoes, and thanks for the heads up about Anita's great photo, I posted it already and sent Anita a couple pair of 3D glasses.
Thanks, Bob! I agree about the garden fresh tomatoes. Once you know what they taste like, store bought just won't do. My pleasure, putting you and Anita in touch about the star stuff.
