tiny tomatoes - panic

[Moggle]

Leggy? Here are a couple of my santa plants  from last year when I knew even less than now - which still isn't much  :P



I potted them deeply in to growbags and pots which went on to my sheltered balcony and got more than enough fruit for 2 people from 8 plants! They lasted for weeks and weeks, and possibly months in my warm kitchen and were still nice and firm. Gave loads away in the end I had so many  :)

Why aren't I growing them again this year  ???

Hi Tim,
I never know you can freeze tomatoes? It look very fresh. Because to us (Chinese) we never freeze any veggies! We all eaten fresh but not many salad. We cook them all. Letteuces,cucumbers ,spinches & celery.you name it we cook them all.
Tim did them tomatoes needed to blanch before it freeze?

- and a jolly good way you have of eating, Yuet!

Santa? Remember that a thawed tom, or anything else for that matter, can never be crisp like raw. Santa, being a plum type, freezes more 'coherently' than a standard one. But it's still only for use in cooked dishes, like pizzas, curries or stews. You 'peel' them by squeezing them out of their skins when thawed.

No - no need to blanch.
