I see a lot of green tomato canning in my future (i.postimg.cc)

Today’s our first frost date, and I haven’t had a single ripe tomato yet. Time to break out the plant covers and cross my fingers.

I usually make green tomato relish. What are your favorite green tomato canning recipes?

Yeah it was a weird growing season. I’ve got about 12 tomatoes between 2 plants. One plant I grabbed from the store’s cherry tomato section this spring and didn’t notice until I got home its tag said Big Boy. Since it’s about a 40 minute drive to town I decided to just plant it and hope for the best.

I grow mine in planter boxes and usually get 55 day varieties. And I try to get the plants in about mid-May under plastic tents to get a jump start.
