I grew Heirloom Tomatoes from seed...Magnificent.

Picked the rest of thecrop before the first frost and put them in cardboard boxes with newspaper.

They ripen a few at a time....and I'm having a blast being creative in using them up.

Tonight....cut up and cooked 4 tomatoes....making a salsa to eat with some gourmet crackers.

I really like wrapping the tomatoes in newspaper to have fresh maters for quite a while. However, I only have a couple of cherry tomatoes this year.

Hubby planted a lot, but never staked them, and they really didn’t do very well.

Good for you! I did nothing with heirlooms - or any other tomatoes this year. I am glad though that I picked this year to be lazy as the weather would have been horrible for heirlooms here.

I do miss my fresh tomatoes and cucumbers very much. :(
