5 Ways to Use Cherry Tomatoes at the End of the Season
Bitches are picky tomatoes. Too much sun, little sun, too much rain, not enough water, an endless number of diseases from which the tomato plant can die, and only when you figured out the rest: the rot of the inflorescences.
But cherry tomatoes seem to be immune to it all. They just grow. And grow. And grow. And if you stick to them, they will provide 800% of their weight in tomatoes, even in the fall. Which is admirable, so far it is not. Because, like many gardeners, I am drowning in cherry tomatoes in the last weeks of October.
Sure, I can stand over my tomatoes and eat them until my heart dissolves in acid, but I still have to deal with literally a bunch of adorable, tiny, evil nightshades. And at least in my forest, everyone has them – on terraces, on balconies, in tiny places where nothing else will be placed, or hanging from an ugly thing they call Topsy Turvy. You cannot give them away.
