If you’ve got too many tomatoes on those vines, remember you can freeze them for cooking use later. Wash, remove stems, slice or cube and stash them away in the deep freeze. They won’t retain their shape, but their marvelous flavor will still be there when they thaw. If you are really ambitious, why not dry some tomatoes in the oven on some cookie sheets? They’ll be great for salads, sandwiches and pasta dishes.
