I've had trouble with birds getting to my tomatos, if I left
them too long, and found the same thing, Sandie--once they're
clearly changing color on the bottom, it's OK to bring them
in. I'm not having any trouble with birds eating mine, this
year--don't know what the difference is, but I'm leaving some
on the vines until they're ready to eat, and the birds are
leaving them alone.

I've made lot's of pasta sauce, salsa, tomato dumplings, of course good old
"sliced maters". Yum. Just don't have much kitchen counter space these days

Ummm. Homemade pasta sauce. Salsa. drool Another of my
favorites is gazpacho with fresh 'maters from the garden--
just incredible.
