Tomatoes

Three hundred plus pounds and counting, that’s how many tomatoes I’ve taken home from my volunteering out on the farm. What do three hundred pounds of tomatoes look like? Well, the boxes in today’s photos hold about eleven and a half pounds each, which equates to twenty-seven flats of tomatoes which would stand seven and a half feet tall. So, what does one do with that many tomatoes? One gets busy, that’s what. I’ve made stewed tomatoes, canned whole tomatoes, pasta sauce, basil and bell pepper pasta sauce, V8 tomato juice, dried tomatoes, and tomato salads. We’ll be eating the sweet taste of summer well into next year, I can assure you.
