my tomatoes lasted until mid novemeber last year and were still loaded with green tomatoes. Cut them all off when frost was coming and put them in cardboard boxes. Had tomatoes until i was starting more after christmas haha

Like the shade cloth. In South Florida we plant in the fall and start picking in January. We are done by April 15th. Too hot to grow tomatoes after that. Speckling on your tomatoes is mildew issue.

For all your those really green tomatoes, they are great to make relish!!!! It can be any kind, sweet relish, dill relish, spicy relish, mixed with other vegetables for a relish. Also green salsa and a whole host of things ! I guess they can be pickled but I haven’t done that 🤷🏼♀️ Blessings

Green tomatoes also have some great qualities. Of course they can be fried but they can also be roasted or grilled. We pick several every week to cut in half and grill. Outstanding flavor!

Green tomatoes need to have a blush shoulder to have reduced poisons that the leaves have in them. You can make fried green tomatoes when the shoulder is blushed. You can also make mincemeat pie with those tomatoes. Not the solid green tomatoes.

Texas has been a boiling pot for me. No rain, high temps, just miserable! I’ve pulled all my summer crops. Okra, peppers, sweet potatoes are all that’s left. It’s hot dry and miserable! Blessings!
@CountryLivingExperience Жыл бұрын
It is hot but try to look at this like a blessing. You have learned what will grow in this heat. I am going to be making a video soon about the best veggies for a hot summer. I just finished a video on runner beans/cowpeas that love the heat. Melons, squash, okra, eggplant, peppers, beans, sorghum (for grain or syrup), sweet potatoes, etc. There is a lot.

I’m also in East Texas and with all these torrential rains, should I go ahead and pick green tomatoes to keep them from cracking? They are on a raised bed. I have many Romas, some Rutgers and Purple Cherokee that have green tomatoes.
@CountryLivingExperience Ай бұрын
You can pick them if they have a little yellow on them. The rain will hopefully subside soon.

As I mentioned, if they have a little yellow on them, you can bring them in and sit them on a windowsill to ripen for a few days.

Thanks for the video man. A cheap pesticide is to find someone who smokes cigarettes. Get their butts and soak them in water for 24 hours. Use a coffee filter to drain the nicotine water into a container that you can spray your plants, fruits and vegetables (it works for trees too). One bite and the bugs die of an overdose of nicotine. Then simply wash your fruits and vegetables before consumption. I’ve been using this solution for years in my garden and my small orchard
@CountryLivingExperience 2 жыл бұрын
I appreciate the suggestion but I would not use that at all. Nicotine is a drug and it can leach through skin. There is no way I would put that on my plants just to keep off a few bugs.
@ForagingLittleMiss Жыл бұрын
Great comment! Yes it is effective. Using nicotine in this way is an ancient and effective form of pest control going back to Egypt. I find it interesting it was referred to it as a drug and yet folks are willing to use poisonous pesticides as if that were somehow more acceptable. 😂

Hello, Have you ever pickled leftover green tomatoes when summer is over?
@CountryLivingExperience Жыл бұрын
No. I don’t think I have ever eaten a pickled tomato.
@SirenaSpades 11 ай бұрын
You don't need to waste "leftover green tomatoes" at season end, they ripen the same as any tomato. I'm in Northern Maine and I have to pick everything in the garden the day before the first frost. Often I make at least 3 dozen cans of salsa. The tomatoes ripen just like any. You can look up how to do it.
@glindamarine8248 2 жыл бұрын
We have ours in the window, ripening, but we're struggling with a crazy ant problem, embedding themselves in the ripening tomatoes, & they even have Xtra tough skin, from the heat I guess? Ants still get inside the tomato 💔???? Any suggestions?🤔
@CountryLivingExperience 2 жыл бұрын
That is an interesting problem. Ours get a little hornworm damage and then the ants get in that way. No tough skin though.
