Even more tomatoes

Today DH & I picked 103 pounds of tomatoes, mostly Viva Italia. Looks like I will be busy canning for a while.

That makes 287 pounds so far this season. And the season is not over.

It may please you to know that at the current sale price in our supermarket you have just earned approximately $260. That came to mind as I imagined carting 103 pounds of anything home from a shopping trip.

I was amused to note that my nearly worthless potato patch (as considered in terms of what a normal bag of potatoes I would actually buy goes for) looked much better fiscally if compared to "local organic new potatoes" that I would be unlikely to buy.

Tomatoes finally coming on line here. Went to all-cherry some years back, and remain happy with that choice (when they split, they are usually ripe and still edible, and when one is bad, it's not the tragedy that a 2lb tomato is when you have to toss it.)

Where are you located? I'm having a lousy year, I'm in Massachusetts. My Sun Golds just started to ripen a week ago, I usually start getting Sun Golds in min July and by mid August I usually have thousands of them. This year I'm worried that I won't have enough to make sauce.
