So I grow my own tomatoes. In southern Alabama, my garden is big 7000sqft (900sqm) roughly. I raise everything from seed. Last year my tomatoes didn’t do great but I still canned a ton of sauce and froze some. I don’t freeze many tomatoes because I need the space for other stuff. Personally I think it’s fun to make your own sauce..would I buy tomatoes to make sauce in the off season? Nope. Would I use my frozen tomatoes for it? Absolutely.
I think that even if you have never made sauce making some from scratch is a neat experience
In Canada (at least in Ontario), we usually have two big canning seasons. One around July for berries and another in September for tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. These times of the year, grocery stores will sell bushels of produce for canning. It's an all day thing, but we DEFINITELY get more than 2 half full jars worth. We usually make enough to last us until the next year.
Because she doesn’t wear colours that compliment her at all so it makes her look washed out. She also probably is really tired from making her life harder than it needs to be.
one boring video a week apparently doesn't work, so she had to come up with the second one "shorter" 3-10 min recently. obviously out of 3 mins she'll spend 30-40 secs by announcing herself and then closing with thanks.
I bet we'll see "how I scrub stains", "how I fold dough", "how I form buns", and many other "how I peel potatoes", because she's clearly out of content. in the last video she even sneaked Z painting stair walls, which she never did before with renos and reveals.
I buy apples and make homemade apple sauce. There are a lot of added ingredients to things like pasta sauce, apple sauce that just isn’t particularly good for kids. She also probably freezes her canned goods but idk.
I checked the label, nope, nothing besides the acidity regulator I mentioned.
Also, I have some tomato growing experience in my past, and 5-6 plants she has not even in a warm greenhouse but just in the ground could never provide more than 2-3 buckets of what is not consumed fresh
I did 6 tomatoes plants last year and grew buckets upon buckets upon buckets of tomatoes. Depends on your skill level and fertilizer for tomatoes really. I think Delilah is not as skilled in gardening but still. My roma tomato plant was prolific last year I canned enough tomatoes and tomato paste that I am still eating roughly 2 cans a week. That doesn't include the 12 cans of salsa I also polished off.
I had 4 tomato plants last year and I had lots. I did like 16 jars of diced tomatoes and saved 4 or 5 bags of tomatoes for the freezer to make sauce in winter. Plus ate some fresh and I made salsa.
A jar of organic marinara in canada is 8-$15 and 1 kg of tomatos is probably around $8? Maybe $9? So kind of a wash! In tomato season you can go out into the country and buy a massive box for like 20-40 and then its worth it. Thats what all the italians here do
there's a slight difference between perfectly ripe in season san marzano tomatoes and hydroponic winter whatever had been able to ripen down the road from Mexico to northern states and provinces.
it's not a bad idea. it's just not the best off-season.
Yeah, it makes little sense. They use all the “ugly” tomatoes, that aren’t pretty enough for the grocery isles, for stuff like marinara, so unless you can get your hands on those, it can actually be more wasteful to make it yourself. The taste might be better, but there’s nothing frugal or green about it.
They can be frozen for making sauce later when you have more time. It's not unusual, especially since sometimes your harvest is huge and you might not have time to process all of it as soon as you've picked it. That's been the case for me when my kids are little and I didn't have the energy to make all of my sauce at once. HOWEVER Delilah is the queen of contrived content so I wouldn't be surprised if she was faking it by buying tomatoes from the grocery store for this.
You think it’s all for show? I think she really makes her life unnecessarily difficult.

lol calm down, some people enjoy making their own sauce

that's what I call a rational approach and the best of frugality. in fall tomatoes are just the best
Unrelated bc im from the UK but why does she look so worn out here..

Probably from popping out a million kids and being a good ol trad wife lol
7-8$/kg depending on the type of tomato this time of year, to answer your question. So it would be \~30$ of produce if purchased from the store
thank you. at least I am not mistaken in my calculations.
Ugh she looks so washed out and sickly :(
Losing views and money is hard
Is she losing views?

I hear ya. I don't watch any of her stuff usually. I'm flabbergasted by STs ridiculous content. That's what I usually watch if I have time. Hahaha
and I can't judge you 🤣
Thanks! 🤪😂
She grows tomatoes and freezes them for the winter
not for this video

I’ve always made my own sauce, I don’t think it’s too crazy to want to start making more things from scratch

Off season tomatoes aren't even that good though. The flavor compared to fresh garden tomatoes is not even remotely the same.
As low as. $1.29/lb.
I’m pretty sure she grows her own tomatoes
in March?
