wow, what do you do with all the tomatoes, literally a ton I'd imagine

I am growing 60 tomato plants just for me, myself and I. For no one else!
It takes 56 pounds of tomatoes to make 7 quarts of juice. Plus I want to
preserve salsa, whole tomatoes, dice tomatoes, sauce and vegetable soup.
This is just for one years use. For a large family, 250 plants is just
about right. Tomatoes are basic staple in my life. Homemade vine ripe
tomato juice is just delightful. I might even try to make my own ketchup
this year

Not all plants will take. What does the organic gardner say. Plant one
for the mouse, one for the bugs, one for the animals and one for
yourself. I think that is how it goes. If I run out of canning jars and
lids the extra makes good compost.

Enjoy Life... Dan
