I didn't get hardly any tomatoes this year. I planted in mid-March like usual and then there were 2 hard freezes 2 days later. So I replanted and just as the plants started flowering and bearing fruit, it started getting hot. In central Texas we can usually plant in mid-March and get a good crop of tomatoes before Summer starts. Not much survives the 100+ degree days we get here. In years past I've canned my own tomato salsa using all the usual veggies that go into it. Also made tomato sauce and canned whole tomatoes. Last year was great, I canned 24 pt. of salsa,10 qts of whole tomatoes and 6 qts. of sauce. I have a 22 qt. pressure canner.
