With regard to "too many" tomatoes.... Ever thought of thinnning them out and using the green tomatoes to make Tomato sauce. I hear Green tomato sauce is only a bit more acid than red and can be used in all the same recipes.

And you can pickle them
and you can can them
You can make jam out of em
You can make Catsup too.

I know when tomato plants are fully producing it can be overwhelming. But if you thin them out the remaining tomatoes get plumper...

Just a thought from a non gardener...

I have also heard of using the green tomatoes in addition to what ever berrys you want to make jam from.. Like an extender for the berries.

Because in actuality Tomatoes are a berry.

The cool thing about really green tomatoes is you can flavour your canning how ever you like... Because they don't have a strong flavor really just a bit of acidity... Saw a recipe that used strawberry Jell-O with green tomatoes to make mock strawberry jam, also you can make green tomatoe pie with em, suppose to taste like apple pie... I also make green salsa and relish...

Top relish bottom salsa...
If your willing jem could we trade seed in the fall? I need more cold hardy tomatoes...
