What do you do about tomatoes this time of year?

Me, I don't eat em. With the exception of some cherubs or grape tomatoes every once in a while. I can't handle those pale mushy nasty arse dirt tasting things they sell in the grocery store. Id pay $20 for a big fat homegrowed tomato right about now.

Had a friend in Cleveland, MS who loved tomato sandwiches. In the deep winter (now) he would make then out of canned tomatoes. He said you had to pick it up and bite quickly before it fell through the bread.
I eat tennis ball tomatoes, but I don't like them.

That only works for things like gumbo though. You can't put it on some white bread with good results.

I used to get shipped to Cleveland MS and hoe cotton in the summers on my uncles farm MD. Then my aunt divorced my uncle. I was pretty happy about the deal really.

Hoe?
We chopped cotton.
I have done it, too - in Isola, MS. Could be hot thirsty work. You learn the value of a straw hat and a strong back.
I picked a little, just for fun. My Grandfather would pay us (not a lot) to pick the row ends, which for whatever reason his cotton picker didn't handle very well. This was back in the 1950s.

I don't use fresh very much during the off season other than those you mentioned and campari tomatoes on the vines. Those are sometimes decent. I use Romas for roasting.

Yea, chopped. I figured most would not understand the term. It was some hot miserable work. Makes you appreciate things though. Like Roundup and homegrown tomatoes.

if they become mushy, I can em

I use grapes or cherries mostly. Romas can be an option, but that's about it.

I'm getting very very good greenhouse grown tomatoes at the farmers market. Guy in St Rose sells at the German Coast Farmers Markets. He brings a bunch in various states of ripeness, so you can get a variety as you need.

The local farmers market will start getting hothouse maters from Florida pretty soon. They are better than the grocery store kind, but that's about it. Still pretty mealy. I have a green house. You got any tips for growing tomatoes in one? All ive ever done is get them started in there then transplant.

My WFs has greenhouse grown that are decent. I actually harvested about 20 small tomatoes from my greenhouse in January.

I tend to eat almost zero in the winter/spring, too spoiled on the real stuff.
Generally, because I gorge myself on them July-Sept, I have my fill and don't start craving them until February.
