I have 20 tomatoe plants. I've noticed that I just toss a lot of

I'm just letting produce rot if it has a little blem or if it's a
little pass prime. Well it's not total waste since it just get
recycled in the soil. It's not like stuff being tossed by businesses
that end up in a landfill.



I keep the tomatoes with flaws for myself, I don't mind cutting around
the bad spots. I give the perfect tomatoes to friends and co-workers
when I have extras.


You can buy a lot of good karma with a few home grown tomatoes.

With almost any home grown vegetables. Many of our extras go to the
local homeless shelter. They always seem to be delighted to get it.
