 DD> Tomato surplus??? What's that?   Bv)=

Fair question.  :-)

At the end of the season we usually have a large quantity of tomatoes ripening. In the past i have turned them into big batches of pasta or pizza sauce and frozen it.  But i prefer to find ways to consume them while they are still fresh.

Usually when the cold sets in we also get a crop of unripe or partially ripe tomatoes.  We'll throw tarps over the plants to keep them warm and try to nurse them along to maximize the yield.  If they reach a certain level of partial ripeness then they can be harvested and they will continue to ripen indoors.
