      Hi, Lori. I'm in the same boat with our tomato crop and it's really frustrating. Hoping for the best for you!

    I was a bit behind on your videos and this is the one I absolutely needed today because I need to preserve tomatos! The video gave me much more motivation for this big job 😄My choice will be the roasted tomato sauce 😍I actually had a recipe for that already, checked yours, so happy to see you have one too! They are very similar 🤗
    Excellent informations in this video, I will be coming back here often and to your blog.
    That quilt behind your monitor is stunning, love the colours 😍 Greetings, Judit 🙋

      Hello, Judit! I wish I had enough tomatoes to make tomato sauce this summer but it's looking grim. Very frustrating. I'm glad you enjoyed the video... and also the quilt! It is made with Kaffe Fassett fabrics, and the ones I chose have been cabbage heads on them! (of course)

    Susan great video. What do you do with the corn after you microwave for the 2 minutes? Before you freeze??

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  2 роки тому +1

      We cool it down in a sink full of cold water first, then either cut the kernels from the cobs and freeze them, or freeze the ears hole (but mostly we like to just freeze the kernels).

    Me again! I took a look at your Preserving the Harvest for that roasted tomato sauce recipe. My tomatoes are coming on slowly, so I've been flash freezing & bagging them until I have enough to process. Can I use these frozen tomatoes in the roasted tomato sauce recipe? Thanks!

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  2 роки тому +1

      Hi again. You can do that, but the quality of the tomatoes won't be as good as using fresh. Also, there will be a higher water content. But I'm like you: save the tomatoes until you have enough to make something great with them!

    Dear Susan,
    it's that time of year here in zone 6b for me to brake down my garden for the season. I still have unripen tomatoes and some the have been half eaten. can I take those and bury them in my beds? to add to enriching the soil?

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  2 роки тому +1

      Hi, Kevin. You can do that or add them to your compost pile if you have one. Next year, if you start getting "volunteers" from the seeds in those tomatoes, you'll want to pull them up if the tomatoes you grew this year were hybrids. That's because the seeds won't come true to the parent plants, so it's anyone's guess what you would end up with.

    I'm wondering how many bean plants you have growing on each of your arbors? I have an arched panel i grow my beans on and it always seems to be a tangled mess. wondering if I'm planting too many plants on it?

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  2 роки тому

      I space the bean seedlings about 3" apart. I would say there are about 3 dozen plants on each side of the 8'-long arbor. It's OK to plant pole beans closely because the plants grow "up" more than "out."

    Perfect timing, again! I became impatient a couple days ago and peeled back a corn husk - not quite, but very soon! I'd not heard the tip of feeling for a rounded tip, so thanks for that. I was surprised to hear you didn't like the rattlesnake because of the string, because Scott Head at Black Gumbo Southern Gardening said what he liked was that they had very few strings, and even the strings were tender! I'd been thinking of trying those next year, but now that you say they're known for tolerating heat I'm not so sure, being in MN. Once again, great video!

    • @SusansInTheGarden
      @SusansInTheGarden  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks, Karen. I was only saying that when I saw the strings, I was concerned the beans might not be very tender but they were definitely tender. They're a great variety.

    Thanks for another great video! I have been slicing up my Swiss chard the same way you described, but I have been steaming it, then freeze. To me, it is the same as frozen spinach.
