We are getting tomatoes everyday now...and we will not be able to eat them all. We usually can a few jars of salsa and I like to make spaghetti sauce.....but did you know that you can freeze and dry tomatoes?
Yes you can...... the easiest way to freeze tomatoes is by putting them whole in freezer bags. I usually put tomatoes into two freezer bags to prevent freezer burn. Just take them out of the freezer and warm them in some warm water you can use these in Chili on a cold winter day. ( the skins will slip right off if you put them in hot water) You can also puree them and put into freezer bags this is great in pasta sauce. ( always use blemish free tomatoes)
If you have a food dehydrator you can dry tomatoes....you can fully dry them and then store them in jars. To dry tomatoes you cut them in half lay them on the drying rack...sprinkle salt on the up turned half. The drying time can take up to a day or longer....remove them when they feel firm and dry.
I love having the fresh taste of a tomatoes in the cold winter months. I know that they don't taste exactly the same but the flavor is still there!
Happy Gardening....

Why Do You Plant Your Tomatoes So Deep?
We have had many people walking through our garden lately and I believe the biggest question asked is "why do you plant your tomatoes so deep."
Tomatoes have this great advantage over many other plants because their stems can grow roots when they're in contact with the soil. When you plant deep you are giving your plant a stronger root system and a strong stem. When we do this we always remove a few lower leaves( if you don't do this the leaves will wilt under the soil or they will rot and cause disease problems) then place the plant deep into the soil just up to the leaves.
We have bought many tomato plants at garden supply stores and they look so leggy...we try to dig a deep enough hole but there are times when we have had to plant the tomato plant sideways...to do this dig a shallow ditch sideways and lay your tomato plant on the ground with it's head just sticking out of the soil we then scoop up the soil around the stem and the leaves. the plant will look like a small tomato plant but within a few weeks your plant will grow into a big strong tomato plant. I can almost guarantee you will get more tomatoes then ever before!
We have done this ever year... and we actually look for those sad leggy plants at the store now mainy because we can get them pretty cheap.

What is Wrong with My Tomatoes??
We have planted all of our tomatoes and we are now waiting for them to grow and give us some great tomatoes to eat, and salsa to make. I now can see that our tomatoes are having a few problems not just aphids. I thought I would write about a few problems you can have with your tomatoes and ways you can take care of those problems.
1. Reddish Purple Leaves: This is a phosphorus deficiency....this happens when your soil is under 6.0 test your soil. I use fish emulsion for a short time to correct this problem.
2. Yellow Leaves: This is a nitrogen deficiency. I spray my plants with fish emulsion and if they have not been planted I try to plant them as soon as possible.
3. Slow Growth: This is potassium deficiency. I have found that if I add a good amount of compost to the soil in the fall this helps this problem a lot. Right now you can always add a little compost tea.
4. Black End Rot: This happens when you water infrequently when fruit is developing. Once you see the black spot you can not fix it....you can cut that spot off and eat the remaining fruit that is what I do why waste? You can fix this problem with regular watering and mulching well.
5. Holes in Leaves: This is probably the tomato horn worm. You can fix this by picking and removing pest.....but if you see that they have white eggs on it's back leave it there this is a good thing these eggs will produce parastic wasps and they will help kill any remaining horn worms that you find on your tomatoes leaves.
6. Little holes in your fruit: Birds...keep a bird bath near your garden. Birds peck at fruit in the hot days of summer to get a little moisture.

What to do about Aphids
Yesterday I spent most of my morning picking Colorado Potato Beetles from my two beds of potatoes and.... yes it was a yucky mess! I just hate to pick those pests off but it was needed. I picked two bowls full. While I was out in the garden I checked everything and I found many aphids on my tomato plants. I thought I would tell you how I get rid of aphids the organic way.
Aphids: These are very tiny insects they get on your plant and suck the juices out of the leaves and stems..this just weakens the plant.
There are many predators for aphids...my favorite the lady beetle larvae, lacewings, small wasps and syrphid fly larvae.
I never spray chemicals for aphids it is not good for the plant or for you. I use my hose and spray a strong spray of water on all my plants. I have also mixed some soapy (dish soap) water together and sprayed if I felt they were getting out of hand.
If you are having a Really Bad problem I suggest getting some floating row covers to protect your plants. You can usually get these at a garden supply store. I think you can get them over the Internet.
I have heard of people ordering lady beetles and placing them in their garden... I think this is a great idea. I have never had aphids that bad to do this.

Tomato Pests
Many people have asked what pests like tomato plants... here is a small list of what pest may be bothering you tomato plant.
1. Colorado potato beetle I find these eary spring.
2. Missing leaves might suggest a hornworm.
3. Blister Beetles these use come out about mid-summer.
4. Fruit Flies This is after fruit begins to ripen.
5. Slugs I have these when my fruit is on the ground and there are a few overly-ripen close together.
I have found the easiest method to get rid of the Colorado Potato Beetle and the Tomato Horn Worm is to get out early and pick them off...starting the beginning of the season....before they take over your garden.
I pick them and place them in a bucket with 1 quart of water and 1 teaspoon liquid soap. This way they won't crawl back up the bucket and get out and it is safe to throw the remains in my compost pile.
I have many recipes that you can use to spray them but if you want immediate results you can always hand pick.

Using All-purpose Flour In Your Garden?
I have been finding that many products that we have at home work great in your garden too! One of my favorite and cheap ways to get rid of Grasshoppers and Blister Beetles is by using All-Purpose Flour.
I put 3 cups of all purpose flour in a brown bag that has a few holes in the bottom (making a shaker) I tie up the top and shake this up and down on my bean plants and tomatoes. ( I do this in the morning while there is still dew on the plants it really helps the flour stick) I dust the insects and the leaves with the flour.
Note: You do have to make sure you rinse your plants off after few days. You can not keep the flour on your plants all the time. (I only do this when I see the insects are out of control) This will not harm your plants as long as you rinse them off real good.
***Don't use self-rising flour this contains salt and will injury plant leaves.

What should I put in my Compost bin?
We have 3 huge compost piles in our backyard...and many times when we have people over they ask how do you start one of those, what do you put in them, and why do you do this? I thought I would tell you how we have our compost pile and what we put in ours.
We don't have anything fancy around our piles I guess you could call them compost heaps. We start out with "greens" that would be grass clippings, weeds, kitchen scraps. I would call this "moist" ingredients because these have moisture. "Greens" provide nitrogen. We then add our "browns" this would be straw, sawdust, dead plants, and leaves. This will keep your pile loose so air can get in your pile. Lastly you will need to add your "blacks" This could be garden soil, manure from chicken, rabbits, cows, hogs, *Not* cats or dogs (these may contain parasitic organisms not healthy for your garden) The "black" is what really gets your pile moving it will help your compost to break down more quickly.
Things that should not be put in your compost bin...
Charcoal or ashes from your grill, meat and dairy products,( these could attract animals to your bin) oil, grease, weeds with seeds you will have a weedy compost bin unless you have enough heat to kill those seeds.
We stir our compost a few times a year..we do this with a pitch fork just lifting and turning the heap. You need to make sure air can get into your pile... a huge pile without air will stay a huge pile and not turn into compost.
I make compost tea every year to put on my plants here is the recipe...
I place a few hand fulls of compost in a burlap bag tie bag with a cord. I then place warm water in a 5 gallon bucket ( I some times use a old washed out paint bucket). I put the burlap bag in the bucket and place in the sun for a few hours. (I strain the compost with a old window screen) I then pour this tea at the base of my tomato plants they love it! I do this every couple of weeks.
I would love to hear about your compost bins.

Tomato or Fruit Tree White Fly Trap
Our tomatoes are looking really good...I just wish It would stop raining. Every year I build this white fly trap it may look goofy but it keeps those darn flies away.
White Fly Trap
1) tomato stake
1) 48 ounce juice can ( you can also use family size soup cans)
Yellow paint ( You can find this in a craft shop) ( We use Patio paint)
Foam Paint Bruch
1 Clear Plastic bag (Large enough to fit over your can)
Petroleum jelly (cheap dollar store brand)
If you stake your tomatoes you might get to skip the first step...because you need a stake next to your tomato plant. I place a large stake in the middle of my plant to help suport my tomatoes but if you don't you will need to pound in 1 stake near your tomato.
Paint the juice or soup cans with the yellow paint.
After paint is completely dry place the painted can over the stake.
Cover each can with plastic bag
Smear petroleum jelly outside the bag.
I don't know why this works but it does...replace the bag when it is covered with white flies. I have a friend that places yellow or red golf balls in a bag covers them with petroleum and hangs them in her fruit trees...Yes they look funny but it saves her fruit every year.

Adding coffee grounds to your garden beds...
I have been reading a lot about composting and what you should and should not add to your compost bins...but I have found that somethings can be added directly into your garden beds such as coffee.
Spreading coffee grounds around some of your garden plants is a good idea. The coffee grounds will add nutrients to the soil as they break down and will benefit your plants. Now I am not saying you should run out with a fresh filter of coffee grounds warm from the pot or pour a few fresh cups into your plants soil.
I would recommend putting your coffee grounds in a bucket and placing a little compost on top mix together then add to your garden plants..I know that lettuce loves this mixture. Tomatoes do not!
Coffee itself has a pH of 5-5.5 right out of the cup.
Do you ever use coffee grounds in your garden?

Tomato Compost cage feeder....
My father-in law always had the best tomatoes and he had a trick..... I would like to share....He grew his tomatoes in a circle and put compost in the middle. I have seen this done by putting a cage in the middle then plant the tomatoes around this cage. You start with a little compost in the middle of the cage...as your tomatoes need more good food... add more compost and make sure when you water you water that compost pile in the middle. Your plants will love this!!

Milk Jug Protector for tomatoes and peppers
I try to re-use many things around the house for our garden. I have found that milk jugs are good for milk but also good for my tomato plants and pepper plants.
Here is how I use that old milk jug:
I cut about 2 inches off the bottom of a milk jug. I then place the jug over my new little tomato plant or pepper plant... *when I hear the weather is going to get cold* I keep the lid off the jug for ventilation. ***This should keep my plants safe from a frost***
I also use milk jugs to keep my plants warm in our cold frame...just fill up milk jugs with warm water and set near plants in cold frame the heat should keep your plants warm over night. ( I spray paint my milk jugs black this keeps the jugs water warmer.) (solar heat)

Companion Planting Part 1
Companion planting is very important you can use other plants to keep bugs away...Here are a few of my favorites.
Mint: is a companion to cabbage and tomatoes and keeps white cabbage moths away.
Rue: companion to roses and raspberries keeps Japanese beetles away. It doesn't like to be near sweet basil
Wormwood: You can plant this as a border to keep small animals aways. Rabbits, mice etc..
Sage: Plant with rosemary, cabbage, and carrots. This does not like to be planted near cucumbers. It will keep carrot fly and the cabbage moth away.
Petunia: Companion to all beans.
Marigolds: Companion to tomatoes.. keeps tomato worm , and asparagus beetles away.

What plants can you grow in pots?
There are times when you do not have space to grow vegetables in your yard. I have found that you can grow many vegetables right on your own back or front deck. You just need a large pot and some good dirt with a little compost mixed in and you will have vegetables all season long.
Here are the best plants you can grow in pots.
Tomatoes
Peppers
Eggplant
Potatoes
Snap Beans
Lettuce
Spinach
Chard
Carrots (small finger type)

5 reasons why we stake our tomatoes
We have always staked out tomatoes but I am sure some wonder why so here are a few reasons why we do.....
1. Fruit is cleaner...keeping fruit off the ground.
2. Slugs love tomatoes. (keeping tomatoes off the ground keeps slugs from eating your tomatoes)
3. Keeps garden tidy
4. We think we get more tomatoes (we don't prune our tomatoes)
5. You don't have to bend over as much...which wastes time.

Great recipes for Tomatoes, Peppers and Azaleas
Azaleas : Love left over tea and tea leaves....finished with that last bit of ice tea pour it over your Azaleas.
Tomatoes, Peppers and Eggplants: They love a drink of Epsom Salts water. 2 tablespoons Epsom salt to one gallon of water. Give them a pint of water to each plant until they begin to bloom.
Asparagus love manure apply a thick layer of manure over your asparagus patch after the ground freezes in the fall...this will give them that added protection along with great nutrients they will need to make the new plants for spring.

When should I plant?
I have little reminders on when I plant my garden here are a few.....
I plant my tomatoes, melons and eggplant when the peonies flower and when the black locust bloom.
I plant my pole beans and cucumbers when the apple blossoms drop.
I plant my potatoes when the white oak leaves are as big as a cats ear.
I plant my spinach, beets and onions when the daffodils bloom.
I plant my broccoli and cabbage after the dog-woods have dropped their flowers.
