Tomatoes are keeping us busy we are getting about 20 lbs every day now. My small canners hold 6 pint mason jars each we can do 6, 12, or 18 jars each time in those 3 small canners. One larger canner holds 11 pints the other largest canner holds 24 pints. Tomorrow is Sunday we REST but we need to can 12 jars anyway. We have been eating lots of tomatoes. Alice cooked crock pot chicken with tomatoes wow that was good. Corn, beans, okra, onions, potatoes, melons, squash, herbs, every day we are in heaven until frost about Oct 30. I plant winter garden Aug 15 so we will still be in heaven with. peas, chard, greens, kale, Spanish, sweet potatoes, and more. Some years I can keep the tomato plants covered and have fresh ripe garden tomatoes until Dec 29. This large beef master tomato weights 15.8 ounces.

Pretty good. Those tomatoes are perfect. Where are you located? It certainly appears to be a good growing area. How about some panoramic views of your garden.

I grow most of what you mention but the window is only about four months maximum. I have many green tomatoes now. Can hardly wait to start the canning. I have the 23 quart Presto, which holds seven liter jars per batch. I US pint equals 0.47 liters. So far I have 144 liters of various produce canned and am aiming for about 500 liters.

Sounds like your garden is doing so well, and it is only mid July! Lots of tomatoes you have there and they look so good!

20lbs a day is amazing! We only have a few plants but ours are growing super well too - haven't had to buy any from the store for quite a while!

With 20lbs a day though I would absolutely be making tomato sauce or relish or things like that! Yummy!

Wow!! My tomato plants haven't produced anything yet. This is the first year where I still haven't gotten any tomatoes. I usually have tomatoes galore by mid June, but we are in a drought here and the struggle has been real. Happy gardening and enjoy them maters!

Wow that is great! I haven't got any tomatoes from my plant yet. The CSA we work at had been having some for use each week and they are SOOO good! I am excited to see if my plants will produce good or not this year.

My cherry tomatoes never last long enough to do any thing with I eat them right off the plant. :)

Lol I do the same. I have the little cherry tomatoes for breakfast every day!

The neighbor's little kids know that the one sweet 100 plant is "theirs" and they can help themselves. :)

@gary350, your tomatoes are gorgeous.
