Italian stallion, Roma, Stripey, Moneymaker and a few Chocolate Cherry. With the fall rains now beginning in earnest, she decided to get\u00a0ahead of the black rot and mould this year.<\/p>\n<p>Some took up residence on window ledges. Some got tucked away in brown paper bags. Some still on the vine and others not. Every day I will inspect, and as they redden up, I will move them into zip lock bags in the freezer.\u00a0That is, those we don\u2019t eat along the way. We should have fresh tomatoes till early December.<\/p>\n<p>And all winter long I will have tomatoes for soups, stews, spaghettis, etc. \u00a0I use my frozen tomatoes in place of tomato sauce in recipes, employing the \u201cgrab and chuck in\u201d technique.<\/p>\n<p>Putting up tomatoes this way is, hands down, the most effortless food preservation technique ever. It takes no time, no equipment, no work and no thought. I love it.<\/p>\n<p>I must remember to process some seed too, before they\u2019re are all gone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s about half of what gardener K brought me today<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-farm-produce","category-seasons"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2489\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestablecomicstore.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
