More Tomatoes!

Not counting the cherry tomatoes we have 7 tomato plants. They are all taller that me. I know that is not saying much but they TOWER over me! Friday night Martha came over, not wanting to go to the rodeo with the rest of the family. She and grandpa went right to work and picked another bowl to add to our pickings of the last blog!

Then into the kitchen we went. Garry scalded and pealed, Martha pealed, and I sliced and put those juicy tomatoes into jars. What a team!

We canned 21 quarts of our own plus 6 quarts from Mom and Dad's garden. In all we have canned 34 quarts of tomatoes from those 7 mega-tomato plants. So impressed with ourselves!!! !

These were the second picking from our 7 tomato plants! The first picking filled only one bowl and filled 8 quart jars. Aren't these BEAUTIFUL?
I'm going to wait til Wednesday to can them because there's another bowlful just about ready and I want to can them all at once. They will be so yummy for soup and spagetti and chili! I love summer!
