You were all right !

18 years ago

The tomatoes are coming so fast I don't know what to do with them. Over the weekend we canned 18 pints of Annie's Salsa (delicious!) 12 quarts of crushed tomatoes and 7 quarts of sauce. During breaks we have frozen okra and blueberries and made blueberry jam.

I remember my mother canning 120 quarts of tomatoes and now I admit it- she could work circles around me. But I am tired of tomatoes. I know next spring I will be worrying about whether my plants are looking healthy or whether to stake - right now we had six blow over Friday and I am thinking that the sprawl method is good.

But to all of you who said the plant's looked good - you were right, they are verrrrrry productive. Thanks .

Naw, next year you'll be much more laid back about them now that you know what you learned this year. ;)

^^^^^ truer words have never been spoken... I was pushing the insanity envelope last year, fretting over every curled leaf, this year, some plants look so shabby and I could care less, as long as they're kicking out the toms!

BTW Dave, how did your WS plants work out?

Good for you, I know the 'worry'..Queen fusser, is my mode.

digdirt: I don't know about " much more laid back ", I think I lived in tomato no man's land for too long before moving to here to relax too much (goin' on 5 yrs). More adventersome? yes (24 plants vs 4), less fretting? not really........lol ;o)
