Kim, we have the Victorio food strainer. It makes quick work out of tomatoes for sauce, I would like to find a way to freeze tomatoes for slices in the winter, until my indoors plants are producing, getting Cherry tomatoes but the Trust F1 tomatoes are a month away. http://www.victorio.info/food-strainer.html

Hi I followed your freezing tips but now that there in the freezer can I still save the seeds or is it to late?i did not think of saving my seeds when I was storing them?will the seeds still work now that there frozen? Help
-
thank you so much for your videos! you really inspired me to grow my own food, this year I have lots of tomatoes from my garden but don't have time for canning. I been told by many people that freezing tomatoes can be dangerous something about poisoning, what's the deal with that? thanks
-
If you freeze the tomatoes, can you take them out later and dice them to use in a salsa or salad?
-
Hi Kim. Did you make that tomato cage yourself? If so how? Or did you buy it like that? I bought some cages from farmer's coop but they were just not tall enough for my plants.. Yours look good and sturdy.

The straw method of removing air from the freezer bag....mind blowing! THANK YOU!
-
AWESOME VIDEO. So excited to know i can freeze tomatoes whole instead of having to can them and lose that nutrition. I am a new gardner and watching videos like crazy to get up to speed and minimize mistakes my first year.... then on top of that I thought i had to learn how to can foods too. SO GRATEFUL that i have an easy way to store my first harvest. Thanks you. Just love all of your videos.

A cheap way to vacuum seal a bag.
To get the air out of the plastic bag after you fill it.
I get a deep pot and fill it with water, then I close the zip lock part leaving just the corner open a little bit. Then I submerge the plastic bag in the water, the water will force the air out of the bag and then I close it. -
I love the simplicity and efficiency of this video! I heard a tip to add a coffee filter in the bag before sealing to prevent freezing crystals during the freezing process.-Charlie

Kim this is Dave from WV I love this very quick way to put up tomatoes, we always canned them ! this saves so much time ! Thank you very much ! Keep up the good work !

Thank you! We have tomatoes coming out of our ears and I'm glad to know we can freeze them. Your videos are so helpful.

That is so neat I have to do that

For those who do have a vacuum sealer, follow instructions as shown above but on the following day, remove the frozen tomatoes from freezer bag and vacuum seal. This way, you will not squash the tomatoes when vacuum sealing as they are already frozen solid. HTH
