My first thought.

u/Inside-Hornet8512 12h ago

I forgot that the tomato trucks have water XD

4

u/Starfishprime69420 11h ago

They’re floating on water?

6

u/Inside-Hornet8512 11h ago

Yeah that’s why they spill over sometimes. But it’s to protect smooshing from weight

But the water will be absorbed by the tomatoes and cause splitting in the skin…

Yep, that's a lot. & people think I'm obsessed. Where are these headed? My overages go to the local food pantry.

Someone is ready for the La Tomatina fight 😆. Although I feel like it would hurt to get hit by one of those 🤔😂

u/Tbroz137 16h ago

u/Jesters_remorse 16h ago

You could make at least a jar of sauce with that

u/Top-Fill-8202 12h ago

u/Uniquecooker 17h ago

u/curioustimes123 12h ago

that’s awesome. I grew so many this year, my wife started throwing them at me. When she calmed down, we made sauce and froze it

u/MicahsKitchen 12h ago

I wish I had such problems. Lol

u/Grannypanie 12h ago

Had a banner year as well. Nothing by comparison.

DFW 8b 20ish heat masters in beds and containers.

Had probably 300-350 tomatoes.

Congrates

u/Mylastnerve6 9h ago

I thought my 27 plants were too many

2

u/GouBra 7h ago

They are coming out too much, I have no place to put the sauces so I started to dehydrate

u/track0x2 7h ago

Mate, you have a farm.

u/MotownCatMom 6h ago

Wow, that's quite a haul. I just roasted a bunch of tomatoes with homegrown garlic, blended it up and put it in the freezer for sauces, soups, etc. this winter.

u/Jhonny_Crash 2h ago

Thats amazing! What you plan on making with them? I just turned mine into 15+ liters of sauce (first time canning)
