Good morning 1870s Homestead. Look at the bright side: Think about how many delicious fried green tomatoes you'll be able to fix with that huge green tomato harvest - a wonderful down home Southern meal.

Blight is so common here in MO. We get it every year at the end of the season. It never stops my tomatoes from turning red. Plants look horrible, but tomatoes are good.

@Pamela_Gram 2 года назад

I'm here in Southeast Missouri and I get blight every year on my tomatoes. I just kept letting it happen and keep picking my tomatoes till they stop producing.

@shervin6711 2 года назад

I just take most if not all the leaves off, and trim the tops of plants..it forces them to ripen faster.

@CreepingThyme 2 года назад

Ditto

@littletechgirl2 2 года назад

Same here. My plants are suffering with it here in the Chicago area. But I've been pulling off the dead leaves on the bottom and spraying with Copper Fungicide and the plants have grown tons of pretty new growth, flowers and new tomatoes at the top. So I'm going to let them keep going as long as they will. And yes, tomatoes are ripening just fine.

@LytonaKirtz 2 года назад

I’ve never had blight ruin my tomatoes and I’ve had it every year. I’ve mulched and I still get blight.

@alicedaley851 2 года назад

Never had blight...UNTIL NOW. I planted potatoes under my tomatoes 🍅 and also had volunteers of tomatoes come up from last year. So my I plant started to blight. Thanks for sharing your video . Didn't know why the on was so funky....but now I know. Ty from PA.

@brandithompson1084 2 года назад

I just want to say thank you for all the info you share every video. I have really enjoyed watching your content this year. I live in PNW Oregon in the the Willamette Valley and your techniques have really helped me. Thank you.

Lol I was just researching fried green tomato recipes today

@MsK-xm7vw 2 года назад

The one thing I didn’t hear you mention was good old-fashioned fried green tomatoes. They we’re something we always looked forward to when I was a child. I remember getting belly aches from eating so many. And, as kids, we knew when the fried green tomatoes started, the hard graft of summer and harvest was almost over.

@maryproudamerican 2 года назад

Do you have to use specific varieties of green tomatoes? Or will any do?

@pamschonfarber1041 2 года назад

Thank God that tomatoes can still ripen off the vine, and there are ways to use green tomatoes.

Whippoorwill Holler YT channel has a recipe for mock apple pie using green tomato's. I've not tried it yet but she and her hubby says it tastes just like apple pie. We save our green tomatos, wrap them each one individually in newspaper, stack in a box. We've had them last until December. Check them once or twice a week, pulling out the ripened. Tastes just like they had ripened on the vine.

@lindabrinson4609 2 года назад

In the south we love fried green tomatoes. We do them just like okra, rolled in corn meal, fried and salted.

@ljtminihomestead5839 2 года назад

We had blight about 12-13 yrs ago, maybe longee. That yr my husband had bought some tomato plants from a big box store to grow with my Amish heirloom and regular cherry tomatoes.... was badddd!! Funny thing was majority of heirlooms were not affected by it, but cherry tomatoes were and the big boys he bought were. It came from box store major grower that yr. I made sure I saved heirloom seeds!! Don't put affected plants in compost!! Burn them. That's what we were told to do.

@shamancarmichael5305 2 года назад

It's September, that's pretty good to still be bringing so much produce out of the garden! And you had some beauties in there too! Think those deserve some glamour shots! 😁

@loripretti843 2 года назад

You had a Great tomato harvest!!! I can't wait for the canning vlogs!!! I luv them!!! God Bless!!!

@pamelacooley6457 2 года назад

Late season blight. I live in Georgia. It’s so very common here. I usually battle it beginning of the season. But you are so right…..just Harvest them all . Still have an amazing harvest.

@junewrogg6137 2 года назад

The tomatoes that you picked are beautiful!

@AnnMarieConwaySC 2 года назад

Fantastic tomatoes season. I had two bad years back to back. Will try again....

@pamelacooley6457 2 года назад

Beautiful garden that y’all should be very proud of. Thanks for sharing all the information of gardening and canning ❤️

@etakjam1536 2 года назад

I had early blight this year. I was able to keep it at bay most of the summer by spraying with copper fungicide and removing the infected leaves. My tomatoes held on and produced great until the end of August and then some of the fruit started getting blight as well. It's the first year I had to pull the tomato plants out so early. Normally I can keep my indeterminate tomatoes going until our first frost in October. One bright spot is that I put in a bigger fall garden than usual. I'm going to try canning some greens this year for the first time.

@pamelastokes2964 2 года назад

Boy what a tomato season you had!!! The garden looks 😫 tired. It has worked so hard this year. Thank you for sharing your work of plenty and love with us. Beautiful! Pam in South Carolina

@lisagrafton2529 2 года назад

There's some easy and awesome green tomatoes relish recipes online. It takes green tomatoes, sweet peppers of all kinds, vinegar, sugar, cinnamon, etc. It's delicious on roast, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, etc. It's a sweet relish.

@vjohnson2400 2 года назад

Lessons for us all, every day’s a school day. Great crop Rachel.

@happybeehoney3461 2 года назад

I canned up your green tomato curry recipe last year. I did the same as you and combined the recipes from the links in your description box. I purchased the speciality Indian spices from the recipes as well which was totally worth it. We had it last night for dinner. It is delicious!

@TShirtAndReeboks 2 года назад

Even with the blight, glad you got such a big beautiful harvest.

@mariagarcia-po6kl 2 года назад

Hi Rachel. The tomatoes look good. Use some of your tomatoes to make fried green tomatoes for dinner with rib's. And then use the rest of the tomatoes to do your salsa with. Last but not least, take 12 tomatoes🍅🍅🍅 to ripe up. Can not wait to see what you do to the tomatoes🍅🍅🍅. God Bless you Rachel. Stay healthy. Mari'a. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀😀😀😘😘😘😘😘🍅🍅🍅🍅

@AdirondackJenScott74 2 года назад

Looking forward to canning recipes for green tomatoes and salsa verde!

@bjkandrews4806 2 года назад

OMGosh those pics have gotten huge

@rainspringing 2 года назад

Oh, thought of this in the last video you showed the luffa. If frost is coming, you still may be able to get those to finish ripening by pulling the plant and hanging it upside down somewhere somewhat protected. Probably not a huge set of luffa, but better than losing out on those two completely. (Not sure if your wild mice would go after them, my mice turn their noses up at luffa, but they've never shifted for their own food either.)

@jojacobson179 2 года назад

Nice tomatoes. The heat in Texas killed mine 😢. Wish I had all those green tomatoes I’d make up a lot of my grandmas mustard relish. So delicious 😋. Also salsa verde. Farmers market doesn’t have any nor the stores. It’s been tough down here. But here comes the fall crop

@ladydaggerstatus 2 года назад

I literally stepped out this morning and did the same with all my tomatoes. It was fun while it lasted🙂

@danbailey96 2 года назад

My Wife and I harvested all the tomatoes at the end of the season and canned both ripe and green we cold packed green tomatoes and would fry them during the Winter

@brianczuhai8909 2 года назад

It would be nice to see a wrap up video reflecting on what you think you might do differently next year based on how this year went. But save that for a February update and reflection of what went well this year. No fall crops, makes it easy for us to wrap up the season.

Okay, thanks for showing that tomato, I had a whole bunch of tomatoes like that and didn't know what it was. I lost a lot of my tomatoes.

@tanjarott7535 2 года назад

Thanks for the great ideas for green tomatoes. We buy most of our tomatoes from our Amish neighbor who is a market gardener. He gave us a flat of tomato plants this spring that he didn't have room for. Last time I went to get produce he asked how they were doing and about blight. I told him I thought I may have seen some and he recommended the same thing....pick everything if you see it. I love your videos. Thank you for giving us options. I didn't know anything about how to use green tomatoes.

@katelync2892 2 года назад

Rachel, what will you do with the tomato plants now that you’ve harvested all the tomatoes? Compost them? Burn them? Something else?

@debragrantham9707 2 года назад

Green tomato pickles are great. I had so many green tomatoes at the end of our season one year that I made green tomato pickles and every one loved them.

@bflogal18 2 года назад

We love mincemeat tarts during the holidays, and green tomatoes make the best vegetarian mincemeat!

@joeyhardin1288 2 года назад

We make "Green Tomato Ketchup". It is a Chow Chow without the corn. It is a southern staple we use as a condiment but also in other recipes (tuna salad). If you have been to a restaurant called "cracker bucket" and got the pinto beans, they ask you if you want onions and relish. This is the Relish. Looking forward to your recipes. God Bless and stay safe.

@m.d.t.8389 2 года назад

Thanks. I’m going to do the same and pick all my green tomatoes and make salsa verde. My blight is taking over too in OH

@niksdn8553 2 года назад

The pigs! Will you do an update video on them and maybe eventually compare them to you last ones? I've been thinking of getting tamworths.

@homesteadbythehighway8548 2 года назад

😊So glad you shared this. I was going to wait until next weekend to my tomatoes but I think I should do them tomorrow. I am not ready for the season to start wrapping up😞

@auntdello5286 2 года назад

So sorry to see you saddened by this Rachel. Ive struggled with blight the last couple years, here in NW Ohio. I've been growing more plants to compensate. I seems that by the first week of Sept, when the blight takes over, I am about worn out with preserving tomatoes. At last count Ive processed nearly 250lbs of tomatoes. I just recently made catsup, that surprisingly turned out good. I tried Sarah's recipe from Living Traditions Homestead. I hate to see my nice plant babies that I started from seeds die. I just comfort myself by looking at it as part of the process. I will try harder next year to mulch more now that you shared this possible remedy. Tomorrow is chopping and freezing day for my lovely sweet peppers. Soon I can get to work on my crop of apples. I have Stamens, Granny Smitth, and Pink Ladies almost ready.😊

@karencovington9960 2 года назад

I live in Alabama and had some blight as well. It was such a hot and humid summer here….had to really stay on top of it. Luckily it seemed to only hit one variety instead of all. But I cut off a ton of branches and threw them away as I began to see any damage. Still a bumper crop here as well in spite of the blight. Thankful!!

@andreamcdonald7291 2 года назад

Wow! You sure have a lot of tomatoes.

@pamschonfarber1041 2 года назад

Holy, have a tomatoe, that was me last yr. I did it with tomitillos this yr, I put up a batch of salsa Verde (15 pints) using the big harvest of jalapenos (7 big peppers), but want to do another harvest before pulling the plants, to make with no jalapenos.

@paulinemorales3391 2 года назад

@colliecoform4854 2 года назад

We always get some blight late in the season but it hasn't really interfered with tomatoes ripening. There are also some good bideos on fighting blight. Check out thr Rusted Garden and a good one on the Millenial Gardener. I have used the Peroxide and Baking Soda regimen with good results it's just a lot of work on top of regular garden chores, but worth it

@ConnecttheDotsBaby 2 года назад

What a great harvest! As soon as I found blight early on I tried the calcium remedy and that did nothing. So, I trimmed the leaves away from the ground and put down a heavy mulched on half of my tomatoes and the other half grass clippings. Both did great! The grass clippings were free, so next year that's what I'll do. I'm looking forward to you green tomato canning recipes. Also, I wanted to mention that night shade vegetables started to reek havoc on my health and removing seeds and skins is a must for me now. I know you haven't been feeling that great, so I thought I'd mention it.

@jeanneamato8278 2 года назад

Make sure the leaves are burned or bagged. Not for compost.

@aprild714 2 года назад

Fighting the first signs of blight here in Ohio and I know it's only a matter of time before it takes over, and thanks for the green tomatoes in place of zucchini tip I'm going to have to try that one

I love to make green tomato pie. It is an old recipe that is like an apple pie.

@tracymorrison1584 2 года назад

i had this happen last week so my basement is full of tomatoes ripening now; already put down green tomato pickles and relish and when they ripen i bag them and freeze them for sauce day ; which is coming quickly as well.

@jenniferkingsbury8229 2 года назад

Sorry you're dealing with this. I'm dealing with blossom end rot. I'm using grow bags and I think the heat wave we had for a couple weeks just dried things out too much. I'd water in the morning and come home to totally dry bags. Glad you were able to get so many tomatoes anyway!!!!

@mariaowen3425 2 года назад

Use 🥚 shell in your soil to help protect your tomatoes from the rot.

@jeanmahan4767 2 года назад

If you go to Stivers Utube channel they always go Luffa. Not sure of location though. I love to watch you two on your Chanel. Thank you.

@laurielyon1892 2 года назад

I may be doing the same thing with my tomatoes. I already had to do this with the Roma tomatoes, but I think the other plants are doing the same. I will just make sure they don't go to waste.

@margiebenson2067 2 года назад

@mariaowen3425 2 года назад

How do you get rid of the plants? Will you burn or compost. By watching your videos on tomatoes I've learned that is what 😳 is wrong with my garden. Thanks and happy harvesting!!

Last year I lost all of my tomatoes mid June to blight. This year I lost half of my tomatoes to blight. The rest (almost all Cherry tomatoes and a few small tomatoes) are still producing even though they look rough.

@sheilawixon3858 2 года назад

Will you burn the plants or what do you do after you have blight? Thanks for all the info that you share with us all.

@pamschonfarber1041 2 года назад

BTW, I'm always happy to try your recipes, just made pineapple upside down cake from the Mock pineapple (from summer squash) No way you would ever know it's delicious, won't ever make any other way now. I doubled the recipe and it was so thick with fruit & cake what a difference in the cake.

You can use green Tomatoes to make an "apple pie" too;)

@jfrederick71 2 года назад

I know you mentioned that you weren’t going to garden in 2023 or you weren’t planning on doing as much gardening next year. But, My question is how would you treat that soil before you plant tomato’s there again? My tomato’s, that are in raised beds (first year, new soil), seem to be getting late season blight. I’m in zone 5 (VT) and our growing season is winding down but I’m wondering if there is something I can do either this fall when I put those beds “to bed” for the season or in the spring before planting. I have limited space and planned to plant tomato’s again there next season. Big hugs Rachel! Sometimes all the things we do or have to do catch up with us and it can be overwhelming. Thank you for keeping it real!

@rainspringing 2 года назад

I've never seen that smutty look you showed on the bottom of the one tomato. New one on me. We get blight ever single year, so not sure if that's a different form of blight or something extra. (We get lots of extras. Most fruit boring insects. Traveling in from people who were growing late season corn, cucumbers etc. who harvest, which is a whole other headache, but not blight.) Mine ripen just fine with blight. In fact it's their second time of the year they have the chance to ripen, because it finally cooled off, and they all get busy doing just that.

Is it early blight or late blight? I think there is a bit of a difference in end product between the two.

@deba6145 2 года назад

I have a question. I know you freeze your tomatoes and make tomato sauce. But I don’t remember if you have done it and canned crushed tomatoes. Is this something you have done after freezing them? And if you have did they turn out good?
